I enjoyed most of One Day I Will Write About this Place by Binyavanga Wainaina. It’s a memoir about growing up in middle class Kenya and becoming a writer. Some of it drags and is pretty purple, but there are some passages that I found astonishing.

Heart of Darkness
An Outpost of Progress
Both by Joseph Conrad on the corrosive effect Blacks have on the White people who live amongst them.

You could stage them both in South London today, make Kurtz a White social worker send to help reduce gang crime and recivilise South of the Thames, but ends up becoming the leader of a zombie-knife-stabbing acid-chucking drill-rap group uploading their murders to youtube and being sponsored by Adidas to wear their merch for each video.

Fuzzy units can be ranked
Continuous units can be ranked
Even sets of infinities can be ranked; the infinity of all integers (... -1, 0, 1...) is larger than the infinity of all natural numbers (1, 2, 3...).
