An important book in South African literature. It‘s an easy and entertaining read. Hard to believe it‘s from the 40s - before apartheid and still so accurate 🤷🏼

Lawrence Anthony details his struggle to save the last northern white rhinos.
Wonderfully written, albeit a hard read especially because rhinos are my favorite animal.

pickAbsolutely loved this one! I've never really seen much of Trevor Noah's work but he had a crazy childhood & his storytelling ability was amazing. Born in South Africa during apartheid & growing up in the wake of it, he learned to adapt himself to fit in with different groups. He speaks a ton of languages & does great impressions of his friends and family. I was laughing so much throughout and yet I learned a lot about South African history as well
“From the day a girl is born, she is told she needs a love story to survive. It‘s everywhere. In poetry and music and films and books. She‘s told life is worthless without love. She is told SHE is worthless without love... But what no one tells her, what no one talks about, is that it can kill her. That the very thing they say can save her can destroy her. Love is a trap, darling.“ (Chapter 3)
