Two more of my favorite books, both great, so you can’t go wrong.  Take your pick.

On the favorites has to be two books that I have been in love with since I was a child.  There is a sense in which these are the great American Novels from which all other American novels come.  One is a wonderful epic that teaches the value of every human being.  You all should read it at least once.  You may have it around the house.  Just be prepared for the use of the “N” word in one of the most significant and important political statements about racism.

This other book is also about racism, but from a different standpoint.  This is as great a novel, in my view, as Huck Finn.  I enjoy it again and again each time I read it.  Again you may have it around the house, but if you don’t you should.

Take a chance on one of these books this week and let me know what you think.

Read on . . .
