Back on the Shelf

I am finally able to put Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison back on the bookshelf. I am sad it’s over! I want to keep reading it.

A quote from the book, Guitar says to Milkman, “Listen baby, people do funny things. Specially us. The cards are stacked against us and just trying to stay in the game, stay alive in the game, makes us do funny things. Things we can’t help. Things that make us hurt one another. We do’t even know why. But look here, don’t carry it inside and don’t give it to nobody else. Try to understand it, but if you can’t just forget it and keep yourself strong, man.”

Any suggestions for good books to read? I have a few I want to start, but they are the typical romantic, girly ones - I have a craving for something else. I heard “The Help” was good and I want to read that, but any other suggestions?
