I do believe that International Blog Against Racism Week is coming up in August, so there's plenty of time for my mad plan: ask you all to read one book (or watch one movie) and then review it during the week

Hi! Two things.

1. I typo'd deorsum as deorum when I left you that comment the other day, I am pretty sure. Sorry! I hope you haven't used it yet!

2. It would be really cool to do that. I will happily look for anything you suggest.

1. No, it's fine - here 'tis!

2. You're about 1000000 times better read than I am already! :-)

1. Eeeeee! Awesome.

2. Where by better read you mean I have read more children's and young adult novels than anybody else in the world, including probable actual children. No, no, please recommend me something!

No, man, all those CLASSICS!

I've only just started to read with a deliberate eye to diversity myself, so I'm not exactly a foundtain of recommendations. You could give bell hooks' Bone Black, Richard Wright's Black Boy, or Chaim Potok a squiz at the library.

Ooh, okay. Also, I remember reading this gorgeous book about desegregation called Belle Teal, a children's book, and it was really super. Anyway! I will look for those.
