Hey Jae. The Washington Post staff turned a series of stories that ran for a period in their Sunday papers into a book entitled "Being a Black Man" It tells every brothers story in a very compelling way and even has a woman's story on her hope to find "black love". This book is one of the many that has changed my life. It chronicles the story of every possible hierarchy of brother. From thug to theologian....prisoner to politician.....famous to infamous....pharmacist Pharm D. to street pharmacist. etc etc. It also has one of the "baddest" interactive web site you have ever seen anywhere" Share it with all of your sisters and brothers. They will thank you for it. It is a must read for every black person.

Get Sugar and my favorite, Hot Johnny and the Women Who Loved Him. Ms. Ophelia was great with a lot of surprises. Yes and Sula was great also. Brotherman is a old anthology of writings by black men. If you can find these books get Black Voices Vol. I & II. Wild Women Don't Wear No Blues is a page turner I could not put it down. If ya feel really sexy get Black Erotica. It will definately fog your eyeballs. I didn't know it was a sequel to the Coldest Winter Ever. Gotta go and get it. Please read Leaving Donovan it will have you talking out loud at the end. Stranger in My Bed is another good one.

I recently read White Lines and Criminal Minded by Tracy Brown - each book was read in one week.

i love romance novels! my fav author is beverly jenkins and my fav book is "indigo", but i totally love the trashy drug store variety the best. all those heaving breasts and breathlessness really turn me on! lol~ i buy them 3-4 at a time so i never run out! lol~ i've also read quite a few of toni morrison's books - the bluest eye, beloved, paradise, song of solomon, love and i currently have jazz on my shelf. i also picked up "a song yet sung" by james mcbride, and plan to pick up his first novel, "the color of water". after many years of text books and self help manuals i love the enjoyment i'm getting from reading fiction again.

Okay I really love E. Lynn Harris (depends on how open minded you are if you can accept it) But they are well written stories, its best to start with the first one invisible life. BeBe Moore Campbell 24 hour hold was a good read, I also like everything written by Pearl Cleage, all of her books are connected in some way. I like Kimberla Lawson Roby, and i too wish Ms. McMillan would keep them coming, i'm a huge fan. I have to check out White lines...what's that about?
