Fresh off the blockbuster success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and set to appear in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey, Zendaya continues to make headlines both on and off the screen. While The Odyssey places her inside one of literature's oldest surviving stories, the actor's relationship with books extends beyond film adaptations. Asked which titles she believes everyone should read, Zendaya named The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin as two of her personal favourites. Both novels are emotionally powerful classics that explore identity, longing and the lasting impact of societal rejection.
