Books to Read Before You Die

01. The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin: At the same time a powerful evocation of the first years of life of James Baldwin in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document.

02. The Last Girl by Nadia Murad: Nadia Murad’s story, as a witness to the brutality of the Islamic State, a rape survivor, a refugee, a Yazidi, has forced the world to pay attention to an ongoing genocide. It is a call to action, a testimony of the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community and a family torn apart by war.

03. Evicted by Matthew Desmond: In Evicted, Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they fight to keep a roof over their heads. Evicted transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing new ideas to solve one of the most devastating problems in the United States of the 21st century.

04. Brief Answers to the Big Questions by Stephen Hawking: Stephen Hawking not only unraveled some of the greatest mysteries of the universe but also believed that science plays a fundamental role in solving problems here on Earth. It leaves us with its final thoughts on the most important questions facing humanity.

05. The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead: While Whitehead re-creates the terrors of the pre-civil war era, it is intertwined in the saga of our nation, from the brutal kidnapping of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of today. The underground railway is an exciting story of a woman’s willingness to escape the horrors of slavery.
