    I have The Trees on my physical TBR. I bought it because it was shortlisted for the Booker prize. I had no idea that he had written so many books so this was really interesting to watch ☺

    I can’t seem to put the book “James”. I just it and almost finished reading it. I read” Huckleberry Finn” in high school and didn’t much enjoy it. I’m glad that James is centered in this narrative.

    Thank you! James was my first read by him and I started Trees today - will try the others!

    I loved The Trees. I had no idea he was such a prolific author. I’m looking forward to picking up more of his works.

    What do you think about the crime scenes in the novel trees

    In Erasure I actually enjoyed the book by Monk, but at the same time it was degrading to poor African Americans. What do you think this says about the general public who reads books like these and put them in high esteem ?

      I talk about that in the video! I found it a very powerful combination of humour with a much more serious topic

      @BookBreak I liked the part when he was in a delirium and he was talking to Locke. I also liked when he cried in front of Huck and said he didn’t care, also when James found Huck around a bunch of dead white folks and he said something like”a black man in the vicinity of dead white folks is a bad mix”

    His stories sound interesting. I'll have to check him out. I liked the movie, except for the ending. I'm sure the book is better.

    Wow he has wrote so many books. Although, that's like saying there are more miles of canal in Birmingham than Venice and there is more paint in a warehouse in Luton than on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
