Hey Chess, You wanted a list of books that I liked, here are just a few. My Name is Rigoberta Mench� and This is How My Consciousness Was Raised... ( this woman was banned from her country because of speaking the truth) There are no children here - Alex Kotlowitz The Coldest Winter Ever - Sistah Souljah The Tattoo- Chris McKinney - Hawaiian Setting Hair Story: Untangling the roots of Black America- ayana Byrd and lori Thorps. Author- Vibrante White...about the nation of islam.. Not sure of the name though. When I get home I will find it. When the spirit catches you and you fall down- Anne Fadiman ( good book shows the difference between cultural beliefs in america) if i remember anymore i'll let u know. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

I'm not much of a novel reader, I tend to prefer practical books (management, accounting, law), I find they help develop me into a better business person. But one of my personal favourite novels is Black Boy by Richard Wright. If you haven't read it, check out the reviews/summarizations on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060929782/qid=1102969734/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-0262414-9614421 - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060929782/qid=1102969734/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-0262414-9614421 Incredible book, hands down. On the other realm, I'd say one of my favs is Life & Def by Russell Simmons and Nelson George. If you read entrepreneurship/music industry books, link me up.. I've read quite a few, but am always looking to see what else is worth a read. |

Thanks Juss...most of the books that I have posted are not novels they are true stories (nonfiction) by indivuals or groups of people whom have experienced them. The only book that is a novel is from Sistah Souljah. Also, many of these books were choosen by my Professors for my major (Anthropology) and they DO help me with my major and also help others be more knowledgeable about events that are going on around them. Chess...what network is that documentary going to be on. I probably wont be able to watch it, its exam week, I just stop on here from time to time. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |
