“‘Rising from the Rails’ by Larry Tye. It’s about Pullman Porters, how they organized a union and how it helped form the black middle class. It was very informative.”
“‘The Living Dead’ — a compilation of various authors. It has a lot of very good short stories about zombies.”
“‘The Alchemyst’ by Michael Dylan Scott. It’s about teenage twins and the fantasy world of immortals.”
“‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ by Audrey Niffenegger. It’s about a guy who time-travels and meets his wife at different times in their lives. It’s kind of a love story.”
“‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ by Alexandre Dumas. I saw the movie a few months ago and decided I wanted to read the book. It’s pretty long … but the book was better.”
