Finished reading Octavia Butler's Kindred last night, what a powerful book. I read her Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents a few years ago and they are still with me as well. Her work always makes me think long after finishing it.

"A Black Philadelphia Reader", edited by Louis J. Parascandola traces texts by famous #BlackWriters as well as lesser-known #BlackVoices of #fiction & #nonfiction & #poetry & prose to draw a portrait of historic #Philadelphia
Tonight I attended author Judy Hudson’s book launch of “Spy Notes,” hosted by my friend Pearl Martin. Think of the book as the African-American woman’s answer to James Bond, and Hutson uses a lot of the locations she’s visited, like in Paris, for the book. I will neither confirm nor deny that Hutson is in anyway involved with espionage, but she sure makes it look good.

Some of you might know this one from #FionaApple covering it on her #MTVUnplugged live thing (i think it was...)
Her version is really good, btw. i think there's some story about her having a special connection to this song, in fact.
Anyone?
