In this episode, we talked to Barbra about her life of reading, from her earliest days, to reading in the midst of our current pandemic and racial reckoning. She shared about a few of her favorite books, and taught us how to answer the age-old question, “what should I read next?”. Barbra’s solution? Networking.
Barbra focused on two main books: Hell of a Book by Jason Mott and The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. She also mentioned Mott’s book The Returned, which has been adapted into the TV series “Resurrection.” For Barbra’s complete list of pandemic reading on the Civil War, Reconstruction, and black history, visit this list.
