It was actually pretty good, it gives u a lil' bit about what its like to be a "white" stipper...but I think she needs to stick with screen writing.

...I just picked up The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, I hate knowing more about books than the people who actually work there.

How and Why Men Cheat by Michael Baisden

I heard about it on another forum, and it seemed interesting. I bought this book a while back and it was on my pending to read list. So far I find this book funny because it's so outdated...talking about people in the 90s and beepers..LMAO

Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We're Not Hurting by Terrie Williams. An introspective look into the plight of black men & women, and the psychological ramifications that we as a culture have left in the dark. This is an eye opening piece of writing. I recommend it to anybody who takes an interest in psychology, culture studies, or just want to feel someone else's pain, which could be your own. It feels like a townhouse meeting on paper.

Entertainment. I like relationship books...not necessarily for dealing with my own situations, but because they often introduce interesting viewpoints that I may or may not agree with

Wow... easy there. Its not overrated, I mean what a classic ending. The build-up the romantic links, the fight, and then the loss. I mean yeah Animal Farm is a clever allegory but 1984 is better in most respects.

EDIT: I just finished reading 'The Idiot' by Dostoevsky... i liked it better then Crime and Punishment, it wasn't as cohesive or sharp but it was more melodramatic and touching.

I'm thinking of maybe starting a Tolstoy, brave new world or Catch 22... any recommendations?

i actually red animal farm just before 1984. i don't know, i really liked both. the last sentences are both great.

spoiler:

1984 was kind of dragging on a bit for a while but after the thought police got him and they were talking about room 101 and all that i couldn't put it down. very exiting.

actually it also made me appreciate life a bit more, the way we life today in the west. it had me messed up that the way their life was, isn't to far off from how certain people lived and still live in the world today.

edit: currently i'm reading time machine by HG wells. boring as sh*t so far. after that i'm gonna get at johnny got his gun. :thumbsup:

[stldymepiece]

I just re-read "Daughter" by asha bandele.... it was even more painful because of what just happened with Sean Bell. Gave me some perspective of just how long blacks have been dealing with police brutality.

Title: The Last Lecture
by Randy Pausch

Synopsis
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
—Randy Pausch

A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
