Read any good books lately?
Right now, I'm reading this. It's about the medical experimentation on blacks that took place in earlier centuries, resulting in blacks being likened to animals, deemed unfit to live an adult life, and biologically inferior to every other race. It's a great read, it's gets a little heavy with the medical jargon but it's interesting.
You?

That kind of book would just kill me.
Am currently reading Romeo & Juliet. Just finished Tale of Two Cities.
I'm really into this trilogy called 'Seeds of America' by Laurie Halse Anderson. 'Chains', 'Forge' and 'Ashes'. 'Ashes' ain't come out yet. It keeps getting pushed back like (Insert flop bitch here)'s album.  The series is about American slaves during the Revolutionary War.

Happy = definition of gay. Free because 22 is the time to explore your sexuality. Confused about Her sexuality. Lonely because She doesn't know who She can talk to about Her desires. :jonny:

Did the book lead you closer to atheism?

It is a historical fiction. The first two books in a nutshell: Two sister slaves from Rhode Island are supposed to be freed when their Mistress dies, but her nephew sells them to a cruel couple from New York City. This couple is Loyalist (sided with Britain, but you knew that.  ). The older sister (narrator) meets a male slave of a Patriot (sided with Colonists). She starts spying on her master and transporting secret information to the Patriots. Homegirl's new Master's wife is an evil bitch. Younger sister gets sold. Older sister is PISSED. Yadda yadda yadda. End of the book, Older sister and Patriot slave escape from New York to New Jersey.
They break up in New Jersey. The second book is from the POV of the Patriot slave. It's about his experience as a Patriot soldier at Valley Forge during the winter. His old master finds him. Ironically, his old master now owns homegirl. Yadda yadda. The two of them escape at the end of the book and they are now together.
Haven't read the third book yet.

At the moment I'm reading "The Accursed Kings" by Maurice Druon, there are 7 books in total, I'm on the second one atm, It's pretty good. However, the best book I have ever read is "Blindness" by Jose Saramago. If you have time you should check it out, it's amazing.

Just finished The Hunger Games series.
3rd isn't as good as the other two, but still an incredibly series. So excited for the movie.
