I’ve been an avid book reader ever since I learned to read-I’ve read the kid’s books on the list, the science fiction and risque books also-but the rest didn’t appeal...

Have no interest in most black authors,most are overrated and I think is probably a deterence to people reading because they are assigned mandatory reading for high school kids and it turns them off from reading. Give me a good adventure story like Ivanhoe,Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe or any H. Rider Haggard or H.G. Wells story and most young men will read it. Give them a feminist story and force them to read and you are fighting against human nature, most young men are bored at what they are forced to read in school.
