On Beauty by Zadie Smith
5.0

my first zadie smith, but absolutely not my last. this was hard to read in the very best and beautiful of ways. yes, it's slow at times but it only allows you to savor what you're reading, and in the end, i found myself being unable to put down the book. at some point i was reminded of bojack horseman -- unlikeable characters that do awful things yet you find yourself still rooting for them -- that, as well as the deeply compelling discussions on politics, art, race, identity inside (and outside) of academia, were ultimately what made me give this book 5/5
