Last
year I completed the 95 books challenge, and in my hurry to fit in that many I
read a bunch of slim volumes. This year my goal is to read thirty books 300
pages or longer, in hopes of committing myself to the practice of sustained
reading. I’ve targeted several collected works and would like to revisit a few
of the classics I skimmed through in university. Presently I’m embroiled with S O S, Amiri Baraka’s collected poems.
It’s been extremely rewarding exploring his oeuvre more fully, especially in
seeing how his politics develop and mesh with his art over time.
