So I just finished Black Boy by Richard Wright, which I think is a great read for an election year. Wright recounts his life growing up as an African American man in the South under Jim Crow and his move north. It was an excellent book and it feels so timely for this election year.

I have also finished another twisted tale "Part of your World" which covers Ariel's story. It was pretty inventive but took a little while to get moving. Once it did, it was great.
