I must interject....
I'm a new fan of current Afro-Am literature. I haven't read half of these books. Soooo..please please please try not to tell what's going on in the book...i want to read them without knowing what's going on first. Sorry...I'm so excited that i have to hit up my library and take out everything you ladies mentioned as being "good"
Also, books are good and bad based on the reaction of the reader. When I read a book that is bad(IMO The Coldest Winter by Sista Souljah), others love it. So it's hard to group someone based on their literary tastes.
As far as good books go in my opinion,
I have to say OPRAH, OPRAH, OPRAH. The systa selects some quality reading material that takes you away or forces you to step outside your comfort zone. I loved "The Poisonwood Bible", started slow but picked up...I cried like a baby at the end.
