My Figurative Bookshelf

Copied this black history meme on black literature from Mon. Feel free to complete it! For my friends who don't blog, send it to me in an e-mail. I'd like to know what you read. Not so happy with my performance on this list--but I promise, I've read LOTS of scholarly books and a sufficiently indecent number of popular ones.
