BOOK: God's Answers to Life Difficult Questions by Rick Warren

Enjoyable, and retainable. the main thing that i love about the way Rick Warren writes is ability to give "bulleted" guidence and instruction on Christian matters and living. he does this beautiifully and eloquently without making the reader feel as though they are in the first grade (being condenscending). I love him and he is one of the few christian authors that i feel i can trust. Good Read

BOOK: A Saint On Death Row by Thomas Cahill

AN EXCELLENT,WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL book about a black man who was placed on death row at the age of 18. but the beautiful part of his story is his grace through it all. his forgivness and willingness to help others in the system like him. the book really opens the eyes to flawed judiciary system, especially in Texas. it helped me to put a finger on EXACTLY how i feeel about capital punishment. i never thought about it. but now i know i dont agree with it, under NO cercumstances. i feel death is a luxery even for the most hideous of criminals.as a christian i dont even know if i am supposed to have the OPTION of being FOR capital punishment. but i do know NOW on MY OWN ( with no religious influence)that i dont agree with it.

what it would be like to fuck a poet. what words would he drip in my ear? How would he say it?

BOOK: The Moments, the Minutes,the Hours : The Poetry Of Jill Scott

i LOVED this book of Poems by the great wordist Jill Scott. I want to BUY this book just so that i can read and reread and reread all the mind numbingly incredible poems.

Lately i have this OBSESSION with poetry, and rap, and spoekn word. I LOVE IT. i listen to it carefully now and try to do things with my words were i glue them together to try and make them fit and sound as slick as the poets on tv...but that shit never seems to work. so i am content just reading it, looking at it, listening to it. my lyrical, versital, spoken word porn.

Book: Midnight A Ganster Love Story by Sister Souljah

was a ok book. it was interesting and i enjoyed comming to a better understanding about Islam. i had so many rediculous views of Islam (as many Christians do who dont study islam)that are now settled through understanding. But what i did not like was the arrogence of main character Midnight about his religion and Africa in general. i hated how Souljah painted every young black American as being moralless, floosy, killing machines. she madeit seem like Africa is ABSOLUTLY PERFECT and America is ABSOLUTE hell. and niether on is true. Africa needs to make improvments just as America. so she can sit down far as putting americans down is concern.
But...with all that said i did enjoy the character and want to folow his story. i wil be reading the follow up book due to come out in 2011. if doing nothing eles...i will be reading. nohing wrong with that.
