I just finished reading "The Help" written by Kathryn Stockett.

It is fiction and about African American Women Domestics, telling their story to a middle class white woman. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960s during the time of the Civil Rights movement.

I rarely read fiction but I could not put this book down. I grew up during this era in Southern California and played with the children of African American women domestics that abandoned the South and moved to California to make a better life for their children. We all lived in the projects. IMO, this book sounds pretty realistic.

Classic Slave Narratives by Henry Louis Gates

Amazing and very moving. Wow is all I can say.

Greyson, I could heart their voices and totally enjoyed this book. I know I will read it again. If anyone has a Color Nook and would be interested in reading I will see if this book has the share option as I don't mind sharing it with others.

Recently I've read Lost Voices by Sarah Porter. It's a dark YA fantasy about a girl who becomes a mermaid.

I'm also reading Clash of Kings by George R. R. Donaldson. It's the 2nd in his A Song Of Ice And Fire trilogy which is being produced by HBO as Game Of Thrones. Totally engrossing. Not your average sword/sorcery fantasy. Donaldson has NO problem killing off popular characters.

Interesting history. Still trying to decide if there is some merit to her conclusions.

It does sound interesting. So is she blaming the behavior of men on feminism?
