New Book
This term for English, we have to read a book about the history of something. Not able to come up with any other successful finds of books on things I like, I decided to use basketball. The book i found is "Hot Potato :How Washington and New York gave birth to black basketball and changed America's game forever". Its written by Bob Kuska and is about the coming out of black professional basketball players into the all white league.
Although this isn't the topic I wanted to read about, its still and interesting book. I always wondered how the color barrier was broken in sports. In some ways, the introduction of blacks into basketball helped break the color barriers off the court too.
Until my next entry,
Deuces.

Reading
For class I'm reading a book called Ishi :Last of His Tribe. The book is about a boy named Ishi who is the last of the Yahi native American tribe. It's an OK book. However its not one of my faves. I rarely like nonfiction books since I'm a fan of fiction and sci-fi. This book lacks the humor or action I prefer in a book. I don't particularly like reading and this book isn't really helping the cause. I do like writing however which is kinda weird since you must read to write so this makes me the ultimate Hippocratic. That's all for today. Keep checking back for more of my thoughts.
