Books That Changed Your Life
Ever find a book that is so well-written & so profound that it changes your perspective, your attitudes...or even your life?
Here are a few of mine:
Callous On My Soul
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
The Souls of Black Folk
The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey
The Sweet Flypaper of Life
Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful
The Black Messiah
Share with us some of yours...

Nathan McCall's "Makes Me Wanna Holler" made me want to watch my life more carefully. Really good book. That one and ust recently I read this graphic novel called the "The Watchmen" twice and it flips me out everytime Iread it. The discussions about life's existence in part of it are really good.

People keep mentioning this book, and I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't read it all the way through...I'll have to finish it one day.

Hotep Gorilla,
I just ordered that book "Medical Apartheid" from amazon and haven't received it yet. I heard the author on c-span and it was quite interesting.

Hey now, Brother JABOOM...while AC was being rescued, did you find time to install a new bookshelf? 
(You'll need it if you ever get that first-edition of "Revolutionary Suicide"  )
