Being in school forever got me outta of the habit of reading good books for fun. Here are some of the good books I've actually read when I found some time: Assata, The Da Vinci Code, Manchild in the Promise Land, Make Me Wanna Holler, Nigger, The Legend of Tarik, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. What I'm reading right now: First Things First by Stephen Covey, Selected Speeches of Marcus Garvey. Other than that, I like Historic novels, autobiographies, fiction mysteries, thrillers, Religious literature. If you know of any good books, let me know.
