An answer to a subscriber’s question.
Today I’m answering a subscriber’s question I received this week. Here’s my answer to, ‘Which books do you pull from your bookshelf and read again whenever racial discrimination makes you feel like you’re falling into a black hole?’
Before I became a writer, I read a lot. After I became a writer, I still read. I do select books I read. I have a day job. I don’t want to waste my time reading words that do not grab my attention. Also, I want to read every word of the book I’m reading. I don’t want to skim. Skimming is not reading.
