This seems like a really good book so far, I only read the first chapter.

As an author I love Maya Angelou but some times this book is boring to read.

I'm done it was a good book!

Now that the school year is over the necessity to update goodreads is no more but what goodreads had done for me is much more than updating my status. Goodreads has helped me organize which books I have read, which books I am reading and which books I want to read. If I had never used Goodreads I would never have read some of the great books I have read over the past year and books I am going to read in the future.

In the last fourteen pages of the book Maya Angelou talked about how she rarely encountered white people. The only time she encountered them was when she was going into town for Mamma. It is amazing how life as changed in the south and across the country since Maya Angelou was a child.

Since I started this book it gave me more of an idea of what the segregation was like in the south. This book but the reader in the shoes of Maya Angelou and what it was like living in stamps Arkansas during 1930s.
