Daniel Chaikin’s Reviews > James Baldwin: A Biography > Status Update

I hope you write a review for this one, Daniel. I didn't know anything about Baldwin until I got on Good Reads, and I'm moved by the samples of his writing I have seen.

David, I will, but this has so much detail, I won’t try to capture all that. I have a plan to spend the year reading Baldwin, and this was to get me going. Hopefully I’ll have a lot to say over the course of the year.

Wonderful plan. I'll look forward to your insights and suggestions for my own reading.

David, don't miss reading "Giovanni's Room" - an outstanding book, in my opinion of course!

Thanks, Terry. I will!

Terry - I have an oddball list, sort of a lifetime list, or one for many years until my brain flips to another direction or whatnot. That’s the book on the list that led me to the Baldwin project.

I can understand why, Daniel. "Giovanni's Room" holds a special place in my reading life... and my life overall. 👴
