NT Book Club- What are you guys reading??

[NCtwin]

Hey guys. I know I'm not the only NTer that reads just for leisure, so I want to know what are on your lists or even just good books that you've readrecently. Here's what I'm working on this month:


From left to right:

The Black Male Handbook by Kevin Powell
The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
Letters to a Young Brother by Hill Harper

I'm on a self-empowerment stage at the moment. Might as well be; it's a new year. Time for new beginnings.

^^ Just in time for black history month.

Educate yourself.



I'm catching up on a bunch of magazines right now (Forbes, GQ, Entrepreneur) before I venture into another book.

 

[raskass 2050]

Freakonomics - I read it awhile ago. Easy read, very interesting.

^^^Nothing wrong with educating yourself. You can only get smarter.

I'm saving Obama's book for last. My mom is going through it right now and says that it's a really good book. I can't wait to get too it.

Great book. I'm about to read that again soon too. Lot's of interesting facts/tidbits. Like how the KKK ended by a bunch of kids mimicking a supermanvillain. Amazing.

I read the Zombie Survival Guide. I didn't know a sequel was made. I'll have to check that out.

Hill Harper's book is great. I definitely recommend that one as well as the handbook(which I just started over the weekend).

[ubuibeme]

Does anyone on NT believe this quote that I've heard since I was 15..

"If you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book."

I'm black btw.

It inspired me to read more and more because I hold this quote to be somewhat evident
