Summer Reading

Since I have nothing better to do, I've compiled a rather long summer reading list:

  • Sula by Toni Morrison
  • The White Album by Joan Didion
  • Temple of My Familiar by Alice Walker
  • On the Road by Jack Kerouac
  • On Beauty by Zadie Smith
  • Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington
  • Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat
  • Naked by David Sedaris
  • Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin
  • Maybe a lil August Wilson cuz my roommate put me on :)
Some are old - which I've been wanting to read for a while, others are new - writers who I feel like I need in my life. During school, I'm always complaining that I never have time to read what I want to read. Thankfully, this year, I had a rather dope Nonfiction teacher who opened my eyes to a Jive Talker, a Corpse Walker, Che in the flesh, a girl named Bobo, and a city formerly known as Persepolis.

And for the first time in my college career, I actually read all of them. And, for the most part I enjoyed it. So why not continue the trend? 

Btw... 16 days.
