I'd like to encourage everyone to NEVER read Leslie by Omar Tyree. It was a waste of my money. It made no sense. The theme you THOUGHT you were reading about, didn't follow through the whole book.
I'm now rereading "What you Owe Me" by Bebe Moore Campbell. Its pretty good.

What do you think of it? I just bought it. I couldn't find it anywhere, I finally found it at the Howard U Bookstore.

Isn't Geren a character in a Sex Chronicle story?

Just finished Karen Q. Miller's I'm Telling and I enjoyed it. Their roleplaying situations were like Wo!

Does anyone else out there re-read books after a certain time? I have a collection of many books, and I enjoy going back and reading one that I haven't read in a while, sometimes you catch something you didn't the first time.

I always re-read my favorite books. Especially, Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and Haley's The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
I find that as you get older and you experience new things, your new perspective changes how you relate to the book. It's like a totally new experience because my perception has been altered.

Hmmm I always had mixed feelings about Fly Girl till I read for the Love of Money and it made me appreciate the first book better

For the record, I HATED For the Love of Money! It was so terrible I didn't even finish it!
Currently I'm reading THE ITCH by Benilde Little for my book club, Tweak the Mind Literary Club.

The last book that I read was The DaVinci Code. I'm about to start reading two books: The Hebrew Heritage of Black Africa and Germany's Black Holocaust 1890-1945. I can't always read one non-fiction book at a time; it gets to be "too much." I'm not sure when I started this simultaneous reading mess. I used to be a one-book-at-a-time woman.

My current readings....
Just this past weekend, I read The Men of Brewster Place and Linden Hills by Gloria Naylor. They were both great books. I'll be reading Addicted and The Sex Chronicles by Zane within the next couple of weeks. I'll let y'all know what I think of both books soon.....

I just finished P.G. County (didn't particularly like it). Now I'm reading Getting to the Good Part by Lolita Files.
