What Books Are On My Bedside Table

Let me begin by first making apology to She-My-Friend-Who-Also-Reads-Alot.
I don't know why, I just feel an apology is in order. Right.

Now off to my report.

I completed "The Lakotas And The Black Hills", a couple of days ago. An excellent read with facts and figures and pretty much up to the year details on what the U.S. of A. is doing to make some sort of amends for the dreadful wrongs that have been committed against the Indian Nations of our country. Very specifically The Lakota and Nakota Peoples. I shall have no commentary. Am really feeling quite ill and besides I know my theories, opinions, and ideas of the injustices and genocides of not One or Two Nations, but many Nations - just rubs white folk the wrong way! There are Nations that no longer walk here with us on this our Earth Mother. Or entire languages that could or would no longer be spoken or heard by this one eared man. Assimilation? Lord, I must stop as my passions become alerted and can at times boil over like a pot of milk left unattended. So, I inhale...

...I remain steadfast with reading and using my thesaurus.

Have just completed a book by Adam Mansbach, "Go the F**K to Sleep". As I read it - I imagined Mr. Samuel Jackson reading it to me. In his "Pulp Fiction", voice. It read well and sounded just like Mr. Jackson. A short and very f**king funny read. Good out loud laughs. Maybe next time I'll let Bernie Mac read it to me...yes, I know. I miss him so damned much!

Monday evening I bagan to read a book writen by N. Scott Momaday. The book is "House Made Of Dawn" and it is a very fluid read. Mr. Momaday writes as one might paint pictures. I am amazed at what I have read so far and am very disappointed I have not read Mr. Momaday before. Well, I have this one and two or three others I received as a gift from my neice. What gifts! Bonus!

I am still chipping away at The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. One. I just may end up grabbing this one sometime and make a good go at completing this incredible book. I was brought up reading Mr. Twain, now I suppose, I'll grow old reading Mr. Twain, and I'm okay with this.

Peace to all Relations. Be well and be loved.
