SA Cosby is the truth.
I’m reading All The Sinners Bleed
More I thought about it when I was done, the more I liked the book.Currently Reading:
- The Stand
- Tombs of Atuan.
In the latter, hearing my boy Sparrowhawk's name poppin' it to Arha lil 'got a lot to learn' self had me like
Read the first two in college. LeGuin in a Literature class and the Orson Scott Card book tangentially through the same class (I read the first book and liked it and dove into the series. The book you have is the 2nd or 3rd book in the series FYI.) Turns out Orson Scott Card was a huge racist btw.Went to a book fair earlier today near Virginia Tech and picked these up
Yeah I got Enders Game but I haven't read it yet. From what I remember Speaker for the Dead was written first. Most of those science fiction writers from back in the damn had a bit of racist in them. So many of them had questionable depictions of black folks or random use of the n-word.
I saw that afterwards but while reading it I was waiting and slightly upset that it wasn't a Ged novel lol
I haven't read The Other Wind, but I think you'll be satisfied with the next two books.
coming more strongly around just before election time. More & more his “Fugitive Slave Acts is good politics” side was coming out….showed his hand as a liberal that’s more than willing to throw Black progress, specifically, under the bus to make concessions and build with Reagan yts. The way he’s been undercutting affirmative action and doing “logical reasoning of semi post-racism” breakdowns….while also “saying” there’s still racism…..feels like when European pillagers/colonizers….send missionaries not only to soften up the otherside but to whitewash/soften up the Europeans on their own side who are possibly unsettled by the atrocities they are parts of. In that way, surprised that the people in his sphere are surprised by his angles now.
what did you think of his recent conversation with ta-nehisi coats?
Finally got around to reading SA Cosby via The End Of The World As We Know It. I can tell I'm going to like his stuff. When he was name dropping some place along the Shenandoah he called Peaks of Otter, Brown Otter which I thought was odd. Maybe it's a local name from where he is from
I was at one of the parts of Peaks of Otter a couple of years ago
Yup. His story, The Legion of Swine, is in Part Two of the anthology. This joint has put me on to a few authors that I have heard about but haven't read their stuff
Cosby got a story in 'The End of The World...'??
Streets been holdin' out on me! I would've been copped
I mostly only read fiction. I find it much more entertaining and stimulating. In my twenties I read majority nonfiction but I can see myself going back to that lol
You know, most men I come across that do read periodically, mostly only read nonfiction. Dudes will consume fiction through videogames and movies but draw the line when it comes to books

. But it's called dualities for a reason. Or, if you just don't wanna get into certain shyt, it shouldn't be an indictment on your masculinity or whatever. Maybe I'll read some David Goggins, maybe I won't .
I mostly read black history/black social commentary books but I did like biographies, historicals, with the occasional self help, and maybe a thriller or some literary fiction once in awhile. Basic ass breh booksThat's because we're supposed to always be looking to improve, lol. The Way Of The Superior Man, and all that. We are supposed to be reading about how to get ahead in crypto or how kingdoms of old were conquered so we learn how to conquer our scaled-down households. Otherwise, are you a man?
Don't get me wrong either. I have a crypto book lying around here somewhere, lol
I remember I was going through some shyt, and I was OD'ing on the self help/mastery books & a friend gave me some of the best advice---she told me, "put that shyt down and read just 1-2 fiction books and give your mind a break". I been byke look cooked crakk ever since

I used to think that I was too old to be reading sci-fi and fantasy, but I'm glad I grew out of caring what other people thought about what I was reading. I now proudly display my speculative fiction when I read at work lol
.
So I read this earlier this year or late last year. I can’t exactly remember, but all I can tell you is that Peter Thiel
And Palintir are as serious as it gets. Everything you do and everywhere you go your image is being harvested so that one day possibly it may be used against you. The company itself extra shield, very secretive about how it goes about selling your data into the government and police forces around the country. All this stuff has race science at its route.
A lot of those self help writers are writing a bunch of surface level stuff anyway lolShyt, a lot of the time, some of these fantasy/sci-fi joints be having deeper content than what's peddled in some of these generic "do steps 1, 2, and 3, and you'll unlock the door to ya best life" books folks be putting out.
Don't get me wrong tho, I do enjoy me a good biography (if the mf keepin' it real) tho so if anybody got any recs on that, feel free to share
And I'm starting to mess with the historical fiction and/or retellings that makes it a little more interesting at least.
was The Unfortunate Convalescence of the SuperLawyer by Nat Cassidy in the last section called Other Worlds Than These. If you read The Dark Tower series, the story will make much more sense to you. Speaking of Dark Tower, in the afterword there is a slight spoiler to how it ends
I don't know. I have only read Mother Night. This is what I wrote about in the coli thread:
'salem's Lot is where I knew I was fucking with Stephen King. What I liked about it was that he made the Lot feel like a lived in place and not just a background setting. My favorite sections of that book was when the focus went to the tertiary characters
Took another break from The Stand to dive into this, somewhat to prep for the 79' movie to watch, but also just b/c it's been on my TBR as well.
I don't think it quite hit me the same as some, but it did have quite the hold on me after awhile. You come for the supernatural, but stay for the price by piece unraveling of this 'Evil' small town.
Father Callahan and his story was probably the highlight for me. Mark was a little all too knowing, but I get it, and it worked for the most part. I was in and out with Ben at times but it feels like that was intended.
My man Parker was the epitome of no fukks given
Every day, I get a few more steps closer to that Dark Tower
I'm too much of a mood reader and I have an idea of what I'm going to read based on a stack I set aside
