Read plenty of his books in prison in the 00s. He was a good writer but if you read a few of his books, you read em all. The sex scenes got me thru but in general his themes were similar book to book. Not amongst my favorite authors...

RIP...

I remember reading Friends and Lovers when I was like 12 or 13 yrs old.

RIP.

Damn man. Dudes books are some of the first I ever checked out by myself at the library, back around middle school/HS. They played a big part in my early interest in reading and writing novels.

So young. RIP brother.

The 'Gideon' series was dope. Rest in peace to the talented brother.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Rest in Peace

I might be confusing him with another writer but a few women I dated during a certain period were huge fans of his. Think I went with one of them to a book signing at Barnes & Noble.

Women loved dude back in the day.

I even messed around and read one of his books back then

and one of my lady friends loves him.

Rest in peace

My parents used to try and get me to read his books, but they always struck me as novels tailored to a certain demo in our community.




RIP to breh.
