Biting off Shandy's post, what are some books u think are essential for blacks to read. When I was younger...

The Wretched of the Earth
The Isis Papers
Assata
The MisEducation of the Negro

were books that generally most black college age kids read. There were many others, but I cant remember. I would probaly add to that

The 48 Laws of Power....

What are some that you think we should all read, or even better encourage our youth to read?
