So far, the best books I've read for this project have been nonfiction. I don't normally read a ton of nonfiction, but I do enjoy memoir and essay and I've definitely been visiting those categories for my project.
Now, as for
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother by James McBride.
I loved this book. I absolutely loved it. It is funny, it's poignant, it has great writing, and it has a happy ending. What could be better than that?
I highly recommend this to anyone. Might make a good present for Mother's Day, which is coming up next week for those of us in the US...
