Nothing and I mean nothing happens in this book.:beli:

but if you just want to expand your lexicon then this might be a good pick up. I haven't went that hard with my highlighter marker and dictionary since

I seldom read books that are underwhelming. I stick to certain generes so I wont be disappointed.

Generally I would know before hand whether a book will suck or not. I always check the reviews, especially the negative ones.

I almost got this a while ago, might have saved so time because I have to read through a book once I start no matter how bored and or annoyed I am with it.

The End of Blackness: Debra J. dikkerson: Amazon.com: Books

I usually do that but sometimes I just see something that looks interesting and pick it up.


edit: for some odd reason i thought the thread title was when was the last time you've read a book that had you sucked (in)

Are you reading a book like that right now? Share.

The "BUCKEYE" Nation
This book called The Carthaginian Honor Society. I bought it over ten years ago at Half Price Books, and only read it a few years back. It was the most morally repugnant book I've ever read. It's about some secret black society in Atlanta that sells drugs, does all this extra ish, but they have a female in their group, and they decide to kill cats who aren't treating their women correctly, but their okay with selling drugs :what:

I don't even finish books that I actuall like :pachaha: fukk am I doing wasting time with some bullshyt?

I guess what I would say is these two books I bought at the airport (usually buy books at the airport, read half of them on the plane, and never touch them again). The books were "On the Origin of the Financial Crisis" (needed for a project) and "More Sex is Safer Sex" (some fake ass wannabe Freakonomics)

the beginning gives you perspective on how people were kidnapped in Africa by their own country men and sold to crackers........

it also gives perpective on the boat ride here........

he just grows into a c00n and his narrative reflects that.....
