So I've been on a book binge lately and having too much fun...yes i'm a nerd and proud of it!!!
The thing is, finding something that grabs and keeps my interest takes as much time as browsing the stores for something that's loose enough, close enough, tight enough, just right enough for my body that it becomes just as frustrating as finding THE perfect outfit to wear on a girls night out! Books really are like clothes...we all have our own style and what one person likes, the other may not! Unfortunately, like those bad fashion trends that EVERYONE seems to follow there are also books that have mass followings even though they are repetitious and and more or less the same script even though written by different authors. You know what I'm talking about...the Eric Jerome Dickey's and Omar Tyree's and Zane's..lol....i can't knock their hustle but i am absolutely fed up of the so called street lit..the 'gangsta lit' the i'm so horny all i wanna do is fuck lit....yes, i've read em...i went through a phase...but it's sad to browse amazon or B&N looking for reccs by black authors only to find books on Takwanda and the buff neighbour next door going at it like rabbits until her pussy is sore.
Anyhoo...here's my reading list...maybe you'll like em...maybe not...it really is all about personal taste:
"Purple Hibiscus" and "Half of a Yellow Sun"- Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie
Unburnable- Marie-Elena John
Before the Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley- Christoper John Farley
"How I Became a Madman' and 'Sand and Foam' by Khalil Gibran
A Caribbean Tale- Rudy Gurley
John Crow's Devil- Marlon James
to be cont'd...
