[RaP_MiStReSs]

I THINK THATS A GOOD IDEA GIRL.

READING IS REALLY GOOD FOR YOU, IT BUILDS UP THE VOCABULARY AND ENHANCES YOUR PERSONALITY INTO CONSISTING OF MORE KNOWLEDGE AND THINGS, EVEN FICTION BOOKZ.

 

HEY, AS LONG AS THEIR GOOD TASTEFUL BOOKZ, AND NOT LIKE THE BORING ONES DAD (R.I.P) USED TO READ, THEN WHY NOT...LOL

 

WORD

[The Rocks Chick]

Oooh, this is so exciting, I am gonna check out what's on the best seller list, then we will make a selection.

 

We will be the "The Book Club", how cute is that...lol

[Rokko]

This could be best thing Rock's girl ever did.

[OG Moti]

what about the books? are they English, or Arabic or Somali, cause we read in different languages for example i read in chinese and i love chinese old stories written in kantonis or mandarin those are the chinese's most popular languages, it is a good idea but is it ok if every one gives a brief explanation about the book and share it with others even if it is in chinese language, good idea and more powers to all nomads somalian nomads

HI The Rock, where u b'n lately?....I agree with u #1 choise is #7 by John G. I luv that guy's books. have u read his other book STREET LAWYER....I think that is the best book he ever wrote( in my opinion. )...good topic sis

[Mr_Liquid_Ice]

I would like to propose "A Mighty Collision of Two Worlds" as the first book to be discussed on this noble club. This are the reasons:

 

1. It is very well written ... great entertainment and enlightenment

2. It has many subjects relevent to us and worth discussing

3. It is been written by one of us (A Nomad) who is very talented

4. The story is capturing as you might be able to relate in many of the situations/plots

5. I can honestly say Safi Abdi is a world class author, and once you give her the chance, I am positive she will take you to places you never been and introduce you to familiar and not so familiar characters. I started last night, and I am allready at chapter 6. Very juicy

6. It is very accessable. You can buy it from book store, or online, even in electronic format.

 

I hope everyone agrees on this one. Where are you guys? Rock's Chick are you reading commandante

Sounds like something I’d like to join, as long as it doesn’t change into the babysitters club, and then I’m in. I’m trying to get myself into the habit of reading, isn’t working very well right now but with time I hope I’ll get the hang.

 

Right now I’m reading:

Sula by Toni Morrison

I have great interest in books that take place in developing countries, and written by members of the visible minority. Why? I really don’t know. I guess, I feel I’m able to deal with them more than I can with a book written by Jane Doe set in Alabama.

 

If anyone of you have any suggestions to books that fit my description SHARE please.
