I find reading comforting. Fiction takes you away and allows your mind to wonder. Non-fiction is enlightening. It gives me that knowledge that my mind finds nourishing.
Just in case you are searching for something else to add to your list of reading material- here are a few books that I truly enjoy.
The Souls of Black Folks.......... W. E. B. Du Bois
The Miseducation of the Negro.......... Carter Godwin Woodson
I Am Not Your Negro.......... James Baldwin
Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority.......... Tom Burrell
We Are Still Supposed To Be Slaves: -The Chronicles of Being Black in America.......... G B Lynch
I hope you'll add these to your list of books to read. Let me know what your thoughts are when you do!
