Whatcha readin?

No I mean you, no don't click to go somewhere else, WHATCHA READIN' YOU?

Summer reading is almost as sumptuous as a few months at a spa.

Unfortunately my summer reading hasn't even really kicked into gear, but I do have some books that I have nibbled, some munched. I haven't found the right one yet.

I started with John F. Kennedy's "A Nation of Immigrants"

It was a little more historical than I was hoping.

I started reading Shusaku Endo's Silence. And it looks excellent, but its more like a steak and Cabernet Sauvignon when I am in the mood for a Chicken Caesar.

And I have The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho waiting for me. I think I will love it. I got the notion from Z, thanks Z.

I ordered a David Sedaris book.

So what else should I read?

I am also trying to read John Piper's "Don't Waste Your Life" but it isn't the world's lightest book.

Okay, I am open for suggestions! What are you all reading? What are you recommending?

re rentanegro: un poco mas...

So this thing from Damali Ayo isn't really a joke. She has written a book.

And people are saying things like this...

"the generation of artists to which ayo belongs has begun to address not only the commodification of black people but also the marketing of blackness. (Ayo specifically acknowledges comedians Godfrey Cambridge and Dick Gregory, who told Rent-A-Negro jokes during their 1960s performances.)"

Maybe I should send her publisher a bill for promoting her. I could use the money.
