Just bought this book a week ago, didn't even know about this thread.
I finished reading this a couple of weeks ago, (excellent read btw..would highly recommend) a statistic I read in there really caught my eye, stating that on average people in this country are reading just 2 books per year. With books being a great source of acquiring wisdom, new ideas, and the outlet to get lost in a good story I'm making it a goal to read more and figured we could have a thread here to share anything we've recently read, what we've got on deck, and make any recommendations.
I was also interested in something on the entire history of Africa as a continent, stumbled upon this at Barnes & Nobles. Thicker than the bible but this is next up for me
Even if you dont have any books you're reading currently come in and talk about some of the subjects you are interested in so folks can give you ideas
Links:
Black Classic Press
Also reading: Data and Goliath, and The Pirates of Somalia.
I been reading a lot of Na'im Akbar. Tryna increase my self knowledge and reestablish my African roots. So far I've read "Know Thy Self", "Breaking the psychological chains of slavery", and I'm currently reading "The community of self"
I recently scrapped my reading list with the recent purchase of other books. Now I gotta go back to the drawing board and decide what I want to read and stick to it for the rest of the year. Outside of programming books, I'm not gonna have much time to get into alot of subjects. I might only get to read 3 books max for the rest of the year.
