The Books That Made Me Angry
from Offbeat Journeys · host James Molloy
“Every book leaves a mark. This is where we talk about it.” In this episode of Offbeat Journeys, I discuss the books that inspired anger in me. I talk about how these books make you think about collective responsibility, holding others to account and about the willingness to not stay silent when it matters. In this episode: · The book that made me think about collective responsibility· The one that brought industrial cruelty to the forefront of our minds· And how far we've come in mental health treatment and how far we still must go I talk about how silence, even though it can sometimes be powerful, when used incorrectly, can inadvertently allow harm to continue. If you’ve ever felt understood by a book… if you love stories that linger… or if you’re curious about how writers are shaped by the books they read — you’re in the right place.Subscribe, settle in, and join the journey. 📚 Books Mentioned(Some links may be affiliate links.
