Marcus Samuelsson recommended I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings in Books (curated)

"It was hard to choose which Maya Angelou work I wanted to include in this list, but I ultimately decided I wanted the one that her most definitive. This is the book that made her a voice to be heard. I was also tempted to include her book of poetry, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie, for which she was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize."

Album Favorite

"ade is a world all her own. I love that when I listen to her music it makes me feel like I’m watching the sunset in a purple sky. Her voice is so soft and smooth yet so emotive and powerful. Her voice is like water and she flows like no one else in the universe. Some favorites are: 'Cherish the Day,' 'Love is Stronger than Pride,' and 'Woman in Somalia.'"

The Torah

Book Favorite

"Sorry, but Torah really is all that. I think it has less to do with being written by God than the fact that the stories were developed over such a long period by so many people that the narratives take on the quality of rock cut by water over millennia. The thing about Torah is that the text can be analyzed from almost any vantage point and still yield massive fruit."

Album Favorite

"I went through a phase toward the end of the summer this year when I was only listening to LCD. I was listening to the last album This Is Happening, and just thinking about the artistry of that album, about how they do these intros—it’s almost like white-water rafting. It’s like you see the crazy part coming, and then it calms down, and you have this perfect path forward"

BookInspector (124 KP) rated The Yellow Wall-Paper in Books

Sep 24, 2020

This little book had 3 stories: The Yellow Wall-Paper, The Rocking Chair, Old Water. They are all very different, but scary nevertheless. I didn’t get time to get used to the characters, because the stories are very short, but I did like their personas. The first two stories had a very strong ghost element to it, the third one had a very strong punch at the end.
