Time To Refocus

I just bought a new set of books and my reading list is getting crazy. My wife is starting to comment on when will I get time to read all these books I’ve been buying, especially with a baby on the way in August. I’ve been spending a lot of time blogging over at AfroSpear and have neglected my reading and posting on this site.

As you can see I have transformed the look and feel of this page. It’s almost like a cleansing. I am now committing some time and effort to get into my reading list and post here more often. Here is my planned reading list:

Religious

The God Delusion. Richard Dawkins
Epicenter. Joel C. Rosenberg
The Jesus I Never Knew. Philip Yancey

Psychology

Influence: the Psychology of Persuasion. Robert Cialdini
Social Intelligence. Daniel Goldman

Afrocentric

The Bluest Eyes. Toni Morrison
A Long Way Home. Ishmael Beah
Slave. Mende Nazer
The Narrative of Sojourner Truth
Infidel. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
An Ordinary Man. Paul Rusesabagina
The Assassination of the Black Male Image. Earl O. Hutchinson
The Slave Community. John W. Blassingame.

What are you currently reading and what do you plan to read in the next while?

Asa.

I’d take infidel off the list. The author has been exposed for her lies.

The Bluest Eye is a great book. My first read was around 10 years ago. However, the second read 10 years later was a very different experience.

The Bluest Eye = Fantastic read. Toni Morrison created a masterpiece.

I want to read “Passing” by Nella Larsen and my first choice would be to find “Blacker the Berry” but I hear that it is out of print and I forgot the author’s name which is a shame.

I also want to read a book by Ngugi wa Thiong’o.
