Wow. I feel like I'm in class discussing lit again. It's wonderful. A lot is on here that I want to buy and read if I had money...

I HATED this book- actually both- with a passion. Why do you like it?

I have been looking for this book in the library for some research...

Also this book inspired me to live more rationally. because anything else is a waste of time

All these books helped me grow up

[NCBoy81]

 

[rundatrack]

Great BOOK!!!!

 

[keysersoze]

bump.

 

[gigantopithecus]

all of these i read when i was younger, probably around middle school.

it debunks a bunch of popular myths taught in history books. stuff like 'columbus discovered america' etc. It turned me into a pain in the ass for my highschool teachers....

Mark Twain's 'Letters from the Earth.' It's Mark Twain writting on religion, mostly criticisms of hypocracy and fallacy found in religion. He also writes letters from the perspective of various biblical figures. the book is highly entertaining and HILARIOUS.

of course. one of my favorites, along with Autobiography of Malcolm X.' very deep intellectually and always fun to read.

a science fiction book where the nazis and japanese win WWII. this really turned me on to science fiction, brought out the nerd in me

recommended for any sci fi buff.

The story about the men who organized crime in America and how they did it.

• The Great Controversy by Ellen G White
The entire history and future of the church from the time Jesus set it up to the time of the end when He comes back to claim his bride.

How and why we think the way we do and what occupations and partners we should choose based on our thinking styles.

• Earth's Earliest Ages by G. H. Pember
The Gap theory brilliantly explained by G. H. Pember.

I highly recommend these books.

Bro if you are really looking into Persuasion, I would Amazon/Google Neuro Linguistic Programming(Psychotherapy)

Its powerful stuff that have people eating out of your hands just by what you say and how you say it. At one point there were youtube videos of guys just going up to people asking them for their wallets and the people just handing them over!

Now I dont know if its that extreme but its worth looking into.

After reading this book, I started to think on how easily we are being manipulated in all walks of life.

I would like to be where you are at now. If you don't have a scanner available, I don't mind checking the book out...(it may take me some time, as my library doesn't like me checking their books out for some reason......)...but, the ultimate purpose of threads like this is to be able to share the wealth...


...just my dime and nickel, of course....

For those who had not read the Bro. Malcolm's book...

http://www.mediafire.com/file/k2mkuz5rkmf/Alex Haley - The Autobiography of Malcolm X (as told to Alex Haley).zip

http://sharebee.com/8f7ac249 (zshare, rs, & megaupload links)

​

Malcolm X's searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of great autobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty with which he recounts his transformation from a bitter, self-destructive petty criminal into an articulate political activist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of white racism, and his emphasis on self-respect and self-help for African Americans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts black popular culture--try as he might to criticize those lindy hops at Boston's Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslim faith, he can't help but make them sound pretty wonderful. These are but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X limns an archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge and spiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley, "People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book," he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt to set down a personal story as an example for others. Although many believe his ethic was directly opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.'s during the civil rights struggle of the '60s, the two were not so different. Malcolm may have displayed a most un-Christian distaste for loving his enemies, but he understood with King that love of God and love of self are the necessary first steps on the road to freedom.

I was surprised to find that the audiobook mp3s have not be posted on bgol yet. No excuse for all you cats not to know this book now.

I'm still trying to figure out why a modern movie of this hasn't been made? Some of them "scenes" in this book was just so visual and tense. Whoever read this can atest to this, scenes that stands out the most to me visually (basically I can definitely see these played out on the big screen):

1) Remember when the cops or whoever came into the basement, and I believe they found Mary Dalton's remains or something? Remember how this dude Bigger Thomas SLOWLY crept up them steps and shit? Hahaha

2) Towards the climax, that whole slow motion, on foot, "chase sequence" in which he was on the run, and hiding in houses and shit. I vaguely remember him being able to know where the cops were based on what he read in the paper?? I don't know, it was something about how he was getting his position triangulated, and he would feel them boxing him in by reading the paper. What I can't remember though is was this some daily updated in the morning he was reading? I seem to remember this being more like real-time action, but obviously that wouldn't make sense.

3) How him and his girl went into that abandoned building or whatever, and he somehow ended up using a brick on her face.



The atmosphere in this damn book is amazing. And I didn't even get into the historical significance of this, I'm just talking about the superficial shit, never mind the educational purposes. I even made a CD called Bigger Thomas Vol 1, if anyone from Columbus remembers...

About 25 years ago, my people got me a set of encyclopedia. This shit was like the internet before the internet. I learned so much from reading them joints front to back. Helped me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life before I even got to Jr. High.

But for real for real, it was a documentary that really moved me and made me know what direction my life would move in.

Those that know, know...
