This is the book that made me actually see the value in the recent trend of creatively annotating books. Normally I save it only for the Kindle, my excuse being I'm too busy reading the book to annotate, but this one had some great lines and thought pieces in it that made be decide to go back and underline them. Undoubtedly Zadie Smith is a fantastic writer - and while not my entire personal cup of tea and I may not be picking up another or hers in the near future, I am glad to have found this one and read it. Lots to think about, can't wait to listen to the interviews saved to my YouTube playlist  from Smith around this book to get more insight.
