I began volunteering with a teen book group this week. The students have selected three books to read and discuss. Deep selections, too! Black Like Me <http://www.amazon.com/gp/explorer/0451192036/1/ref=pd_sexpl/102-5771832-5346555&gt;
was the first book. Ya know, you take a well written book with an important message and they will get it. And they did!

I had forgotten about this book, hadn’t read it since high school in the seventies. Of course, when I read it I had no one to bounce thoughts and ideas off of. I don’t remember thoughts or impressions from my first read, guess that’s why I was surprised it was chosen.
