NT Book Club Vol. WDYRTD

[ahat]

Honestly haven't read as much Baldwin as I should. But some other books you might enjoy from other authors are: White Teeth, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Beloved and The Bluest Eye. Between the world and me is a great new read. More of a personal narrative as it's a letter from a father to son about what life is like for African Americans in America.

Good looks. Im actually after Between the World and Me but havent been able to find a copy yet. Gonna look for the others you mentioned. Appreciate it!

Modern romance is a nice light read, I think you'll enjoy it

Skimmed through multiplication is for white people. Good read about the achievement gap between African Americans and caucasians. Picked up ghettoside which is about the lack of coverage African American murders get. Gonna prob skim through that quickly.

How much time do you guys devote on a daily basis in reading? Pisses me off that I can't sit down and read a book without getting distracted in dumb ****.

I usually start when I poop and usually continue throughout the day so maybe 4-5 hours?

Chapter a day whenever I can. For the current book I'm reading I do 1 law per day whenever I have the time. I wish I had time to dedicate about 1 hour to reading everyday. 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Try to read for 30-an hour

Just finished Philadelphia Fire by John EdgarvWideman. I don't know how to describe it. Masterfully written but confusing as hell. Tough read

 

[getback]

Current read. Basically sums up the US justice system and how corrupt and can (and did) get at the expense of poor folks in Texas:

Next read:

My girl is about to graduate college and for one of her gifts she some books that focus on "spirituality, self love etc." So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I already got the alchemist, not sure how much she'll like it but I loved it.

Can't go wrong with this. Brought me to tears.

I aim for 50 pages a day. I found it to be a lot easier spreading my reading throughout the day. 10 pages when I wake up, 10 pages eating lunch, etc. Usually takes me a week to finish a book.
