Hello Lj,
been messing around with a couple books recently.
Unsettling America Anthology of Multicultural Poetry
It's got Patricia Smith Joy Harjo Ntozake Shange Amiri Baraka Li-Young Lee
It's a really cheap book with alot of great poems about ethnicity and culture in America. I really loved the variety. It didn't only focus on latina or African diaspora but Eastern Europeans and Asia.
Middle Passage by Charles Johnson
Great Book. Interesting storyline. Kept me gripped the entire ride on the ship. Brought about some interesting topics: slaves owning slaves, the Allmuseri, the perfect "negro", yet in a entertaining fashion.
I'm currently reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie, recently ordered Ben Okri's the Famised road and flirtying with Jeal Paul Satre.
Any comments on what I'm currently reading (personal experiences with the books)
What are you reading?
What should I read next?
I'm definitely looking for engaging ficition,poetry, or non-fiction(basically anything). I love books that challenge and discuss new ideas without being text-booky or preachy or redundant.
