I read Skin Deep by Kathleen Cross last summer. Has anyone else read this book?
If you have not read it, pick it up.

I just read All About Love by Bell Hooks.
Ms. Hooks hits on some major points that all women need to analyze and implement into their lives. I highly recommend this book..
Now I am reading The Art of War - Sun Tzu.
Written 2500 years ago, but very useful for aspiring leaders today.

Girl, you ain't neva lied!!! I didn't even finish it, because I know that I'm no literary genius, but something kept telling me that "This book stinks!" so I decided to just put it down.

Also, I love EJD too, but Liar's Game could've been much better.

I'm a little late with this post, but I just picked up this book. It's very interesting reading, and I definitely agree with you that it is good reading!

I am in the process of reading the book "Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class," (the title is self-explanitory therefore I won't give you a summary) and I am really enjoying it. I was wondering what good books you all have read recently and what makes them so good?

Our book club discussed this book this past week. Although I have not finished, I will because it was interesting and enlightening. I think the parts that made me bothered was where the author infused his life history with life of the elite. I like reading anythnig that gives me a history lesson and while I have never lived this lifestyle, I find aspects of it interesting but I appreciate my life, past and present because it has shaped me into the person I am today.

I stopped reading "For the Love of Money". I was very disappointed in it.

I liked "God Don't Like Ugly".
I'm currently reading "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (it's good).

I just finish reading Flyy Girl. It was okay, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

Are you a bell hooks fan like me? *lol* I love her and have admired her work for a long time. I read "All About Love" too, and it's actually something that I think both men and women could benefit from reading.

Kindred was a really good book. I couldn't put it down. I think I read it in like a day.

I was in Blockbuster last week--did anyone else know that this is a movie, now? :confused: I hope it's as good as the book was.

Jodi Picoult is a great author. I've read My Sister's Keeper and just finished The Pact. They were both so sad, but totally captivating.

Definitely a good read. I love J. Cali Cooper

I've recently finished "Girl, get your credit straight" by Glinda Bridgforth. This was a very good book. I borrowed it from the library and now I have to buy my own copy. I need to make notes in the book. I would definitely recommend this book!

I'd also like to read the book by Hill Harper called "Letters to a Young Brother". I've heard many good things about this book.

christiangirl 09-29-2007 03:59 PM

"The Pact" ~ Jodi Picoult. It's not as good as "My Sister's Keeper," but it was pretty awesome anyway!

ETA: I just read "Louder than Words" by Jenny McCarthy. That book is amazing and I finished it in one night!
