Happy Holidays everybody!

I think I’m gonna give my dad Walter Mosley’s Little Scarlet. Although he doesn’t read much he was a LA County Sheriff during the ’65 riots so he’ll be able to relate. Plus I think he’ll get a kick out of Mouse.

I’m thinking of giving my son a couple of Solomon Jones’ books and a biography – don’t know who yet.

I want the Zora book- Speak. I've dropped hints likely to be picked up. I just straight out told my book buddy.

I'm giving the Collected Works of Nikki Giovanni. If anyone runs across an good book on AA's & cinema let me know. Also giving subscriptions to Black Issues Book Review.

I've requested a copy of "Open House" by Patricia J. Williams, a middle-aged black woman who reflects on her extraordinary life through a series of witty essays. I was inspired by the glowing 4-star review "People Magazine" gave this book.

Hey Crystal, if your daddy don't want it I'd love to read it. I could even be your daddy for a day *smile*.

Oh, btw, you've heard of the game show called Jeopardy, right?

Okay, here's the deal, I'm going to give you the answer because I want you to practice. Okay here's the answer "Darnell". Do you know what the question is *smile*? Actually there's a few "questions" but you know the deal :-).

The panel said your answer was too weak. They were looking for something with more gusty, you know like "Who's ***** is this" *smile* or "Who do you call when you want it done right?" OR "CALL MY NAME, CALL MY NAME".

Okay practice *lol*

Now, for sure you won't be able to duplicate the scintillating excitement but.......you know!

Okay okay, man can't flirt no mo' dang *smile*.

You sure.......okay, dang.

Books, right, let's see. My list of individuals that I'm going to spend money on this year has become quite small. I am remembering all those dark days when nothing was jumpin' on my stove and my phone seemed to be out of order.....seemed to be. But ahhh, you know you're on my list. What would you like to receive, what's on your wish list?

Okay okay, I was just jackin' around. You know sometimes I just feel like being a little bit silly so I act on it.

But you know what I did, I was thinking about someone so I sent them an e-mail inviting them to call me so that I can really get my flirt on. I wonder if they'll call.......

I am sorry, I really am. I have a bad habit of that. Okay, if I was going to give my son a book or two for Christmas and I just might. I think every black man should read The Manchild In the promise Land and The autobiography of Malcolm X......hands down the two must reads. Then I just can't help but mention Stratch line, I mean, yeah, it's been out a few years but so has The 3 musketeer candy bar and I still get me one of them at least once a week. I don't know what candy has to do with books but hey, you know what I'm talking about.

Again I'm sorry Crystal, what can I do to make it up. Wait a minute, you just mad cause I didn't send that e-mail to you *lol*.....

Crystal -

Thanks for considering my books as gifts for your son ... As I often tell readers, each book represents a chicken dinner. Thanks again. I hope he enjoys the books.
