Just finished reading Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley. Really liked seeing the element of mystery incorporated into daily black culture. The little short story "Crimson Stain" at the beginning of the book was dope too,
Yes. Love Mosley. I have to finish his collection. I think I'm on book six of Easy Rawlins.

Always
I've heard about Master Key(system?) multiple times in the last few weeks

What did this book do for you?
It taught me how the brain influences the body. we always have a choice in shaping the world because the world is what we view it as. It gave me tools to process information in a logical way. It gives you systems to use that are practical and supported by science. It's not a spiritual book that focuses on meditation and yoga. It doesn't focus on dominating spaces like Laws of Power and Art of War. It's about controlling one's mind and how to use the system the book teaches correctly in everyday life.

Since reading that book, I didn't even finish it big bro, but since reading it I've reached all my personal and professional goals. I'm much more organized in all facets of my life. When I lose control I can regain control of myself much faster than I used to. Rarely do I feel helpless for long. I know my brain is a tool and I can use it more effectively through using the Master Key System.

I consider it a must-read for anyone who is ambitious or has issues interacting with people effectively.

The Aryan Nation make a 1% of the federal prison but are able to commit 20% of the murders. They do stuff lilke study human anatomy so they know how to commit murders in under 10 seconds. There is always 3 leaders l at one time, never just one leader. There is a lot to learn here lot you can learn from here. Again nigggas got to stop being so tender-hearted and soft.

Honestly bro, I would recommend finding what your interest is in terms of something that is a skill and then read books based on that. I spent a large amount of time reading 'self-help' books and occasionally you'll find something interesting here and there, but most of them won't get you anywhere. What WILL get you somewhere is tailored reading that helps advance a skill. For me, I've been reading a ton of programming books and watching videos because that's the field I'm in and they've helped a lot in improving my skillset. At the end of the day, you have to have a skillset that employers will find valuable or you have to be able to create a product to sell and get your entrepreneurial thing on.

Head First Java

and then figure out what you want to do. Do you want to do web development, android apps, etc. you're going to end up having to learn things like data structures and algorithms, so after you get done learning Java, look into that in your free time. Avoid the CLRS books as a beginner, which is this book:
amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Cormen-ebook/dp/B007CNRCAO/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=

It's for more advanced programmers. Start with this one:
amazon.com/Algorithms-4th-Robert-Sedgewick/dp/032157351X/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&me=

To keep yourself interested, you probably want to start with something practical to where you can see the results on the screen, so here is a book for android apps:
amazon.com/Android-Programming-Ranch-Guide-Guides/dp/0134706056/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1514863261&sr=1-1&keywords=big+nerd+ranch+android

My advice? Get a kindle. Not a tablet, but the actual e-reader. It's one of my best investments. You can load a ton of books on there and it won't hurt your eyes like staring at an lcd screen will.
