Well actually, its here. Black Boy is finished, leaving me content. I actually enjoyed book. Shocker. I know, especially for me, because I'm usually not a big fan of books we read in school. Except for Thunder Cave. That book was a literary work of art....not so much. LRT was a joke.
Anyways, Black Boy was a winner for me because I enjoy memoirs, especially straightforward, not-so-deep ones. I also like reading about segregation in the south. It was such a strange time (for our living standards today at least), and in my opinion, it makes for a very interesting story. Another thing that contributed to my satisfaction was the point of view it was written in. The book I'm currently reading for outside reading is written in third person, and I keep thinking that it is written in first, so I always get confused as to who is telling the story. I'll just have to get used to it considering I have about 350 pages to go. Great.
I think that its time to go find a cure for my raging headache...it will probably end up with me not being able to find the Advil, so I'll just go to bed. Its only 9:00 so maybe I'll get a decent night of sleep for once.

hey David-
I agree with you on the whole reading about segregation thing. Even though it is a sad thing to think about,I think that it is really interesting to read and think about.
