Vol 0 is the best narrative in JJK because of Okkotsu and the continuation of the Gojo, Geto, Toji arc. The rest of the series is often more character driven.

Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House by Elizabeth Keckley

I read Elizabeth Keckley’s memoir Behind the Scenes as a part of a research project. I find the book interesting and educational about society right as the civil war was about to begin. Keckley,  as a woman born into enslavement but who earned her own freedom, provides her own perception of historical events. While scholarship often focuses on her discussion of Mary Todd Lincoln, Keckley’s narrative enables the contemporary reader a look into navigating the racial, gendered, and classed tensions of the mid-nineteenth century.
