Stuntin' On These Hoes Posts: 5,359 Group: Members Member #17 Joined: January 30, 2010	Since May, I have read like a good 16 books and I'm looking for more. Here are a few that I've read. What are some you recommend? The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho Revolutionary Suicide - Huey P. Newton Pilgrimage - Paulo Coehlo (slow read, and not as good as The Alchemist but it was cool) The New Science of Behavioral Economics...if Freakonomics was condensed and more refined it would be similar to this. The Art of War (overrated) A few copies of The Black Panther Newspaper they had made. and a few more.

Stuntin' On These Hoes Posts: 5,359 Group: Members Member #17 Joined: January 30, 2010	Naw I haven't, I heard it was "underwhelming" so I bought Revolutionary Suicide instead. I will check it out though.

Stuntin' On These Hoes Posts: 5,359 Group: Members Member #17 Joined: January 30, 2010	you know something, I do not really like Langston Hughes works. Maybe because it was force on me since I was like 4, but I dont like him. The Alchemist is simple, but I like simplicity. Tends to be more efficient. Edited by DBlackulate, Sep 25 2011, 08:21 PM.
