The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beyond the overall messages, which are themselves very well communicated, there are so many brilliant gems in this short book. The letter at the beginning is wonderful, and a good introduction to the rest. Then there's a very autobiographical section which is interesting, but the second half of the book is my favorite portion. I didn't put it down until I was done and it was well worth rereading.

I am addicted to reading. This is because 1) my dad died and I inherited his books, 2) my husband is a writer and he is really well-read, and he has tons of books in the house as well, 3) I discovered that I could get ebooks and audiobooks from my library online!
