Well at least the forum is here. I wonder if other people are still reading.
I am a constant reader, and what I happen to be reading right now is W.E.B. DuBois' the Souls of Black Folk, which I think is pretty great, and probably still an important work that has a lot of information about the development of early black american culture.
Also, since if I'm reading something nonfiction I will need a novel at the same time, I'm reading the Vicar of Wakefield, another classic, which I'm not far enough into to know how well I like it yet.
