Book Recommendations?
What's good?
I wondered if you had any recommendations for books? The Rza touches on many topics, (theological, metaphysical, etc) in the Wu Manual and I wondered if you knew of ways to expand my knowledge? Fiction, non-fiction, reference...whatever...just something that doesn't make me stupider by reading it. And in exchange, here are some for you. 1) The Autobiography of Malcolm X 2) 'The White Boy Shuffle' by Paul Beatty 3) 'The Fuck-Up' by Arthur Nersesian Thanks Essince |

Re: Book Recommendations?
      There're more but I didn't copy the rest. This book is "Black Men: Obsolete, Single Dangerous?" (ISBN 0-88378-135-2) There's a list of 200+ books in this book and "The Black Student's Guide to Positive Education" (ISBN 0-9618815-0) has an extensive list of books and videos as well. Peace

Re: Book Recommendations?
Then move on to..
A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway Fear And Loathing In America by Hunter S. Thompson Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry Demon Box by Ken Kesey The Way Of The Shaman by Michael Harner The Red Letter Plays by Suzan-Lori Parks Geek Love by Katherine Dunn Franny And Zooey by J.D. Salinger None But The Lonely Heart by RIchard Llewellyn Interpreter Of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri And maybe after you'll realize that the Wu-Tang Manuel isn't the greatest book ever written. When you read all these then maybe you'll be prepared to write your own novel. Peace |
