BTW it's the season of "best-of" lists, not sure if I should make a thread or not, but anyway I came across this list of published pieces available online, haven't read any one them yet but see some big names so I felt I might as well share it with the brehs

African Literary Digest: The 31 Best Pieces of 2016

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

Pretty close to finishing Conspiracy of the Rich by Robert Kiyosaki.

He's good at training you to change your mindset about money but (so far) doesn't particularly outline effective ways to build wealth. But it has made me curious about finances and investments that produce a steady income so maybe I'm on the right track

 

[Primetime21]

I think this is designed as more of an introduction for younger readers but I still picked this up and read it recently

Included a lot of dialogue from the man himself that was captured by the historians of that time and preserved over the years. Much of it was new for me anyway, I enjoyed it.

 

[Amor fati]

33 Strategies of war

Mastery

Bible(King James)

 

[NoCones]

Finished Isha Schaller opening of the way
Started rereading 1001 arabian nights

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Reading "Tram 83" by Fiston Mwanza Mujila (in french obviously)

About to cop.

 

[Danie84]

...WE are nuthin but Guinea Pigs in Elitist 666 Demonic interconnected FUKKERY

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Currently reading 1984 by George Orwell.
Then I have on deck "there was a country"...I'll read that later.

The Achebe book? It's good.

 

[Ol’Otis]

A clockwork orange

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Know thy enemy

 

[Primetime21]

The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism

A book that pretty much refutes the idea that the United States was founded on 'freedom' and 'democracy' and that other groups "made it" on their "own"

I strongly encourage EVERY African American to read this!

Gonna have to check this one out

Sorry if this is a repeat. Selectively this read the forum. The one below and one about software vulnerabilities co-authored by a pal.

Reading native son, it's a novel. The first part definitely threw me for a loop, certainly some unexpected events. It's really good though!
