Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
5.0
dark emotional informative reflective tense fast-paced

Eloquent and heavy. It feels like going for a swim in a Muskoka lake. It gives you goosebumps and feels cold in a good way. Slowly you wade in never really prepared for what it is. And the water feels heavy but fresh. The weight absorbs you and brings you along. You don't float like in the ocean but instead have to tread water and work for the swim. It's an incredible experience even if bracing. And I'll never forget it.
