I am Not a Teacher, But an Awakener.
March 6 2005
It was my cousin Aaminah's birthday on Saturday, turning the notorious 9! I got to see my homegirl, Andi who is leaving for Morocco next week. I just want to wish her a safe trip and stay. Learn all that you can about a new culture foreign to yours, understand it, and share it. :-) I can't wait to hear about her experience.
Anyways I was hoping a few people would read this post and give me a few suggestions on books to read.
I've been so busy lately and I've gotten through Yorum Binur's My Enemy, Myself in barely two weeks. :-(
Books in mind are Sun Tzu's Art of War, Dreyfus Affair, Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, Hamza Yusuf's Purification of the Heart, Aley Haley's Roots, and Clockwork Orange.
People give me suggestions! No fantasy fiction crap. Harry Potter and Lord or the Rings should be burned. :-) lol, you get my point.
And I have yet to read Br. Alejandro's Islam and Democracy.
Peace.
