I just finished reading The Autobiography of Medgar Evers and Things Fall Apart, (two very good ones

)
Anyone else have any good ones they're reading currently?

Things Fall Apart is a good one, I might have to revisit that soon.

Judging from the books you named, I think you might like Native Son.

Black Boy.

Autobiography by Richard Wright, author of Native Son. I own both but havent read Native Son yet. But I highly recommend Black Boy.

Sno Nuff ... you should read Modesty Blaise. It was the book Vincent Vega was reading on the toilet in Pulp Fiction. It is actually pulp fiction. Good seriesfor that genre.
