I\u2019ve been swallowing books lately. After going through his book on Motown, I finished Nelson George\u2019s memoir City Kid. I really enjoy his fine prose.<\/p>\n
It made me think a lot about my own memories matching his pages. The parallels, tangents and intersections. Different countries, different times. Many things being the same if not the exact<\/em> same. I think there\u2019s something about folks kind of born between generations<\/strong>. We don\u2019t really fit a mold, we bridge.<\/p>\n Also It\u2019s always harder to ponder over what a book did to oneself compared to a movie. Sometimes the details of something insignificant in a written story give you a better sense of what you value in life, for instance. Sometimes just a sentence makes you laugh hard as if you had just been waiting for that joke all along, even though it comes out of nowhere. It\u2019s hard to pinpoint. It\u2019s a feeling.<\/p>\n I\u2019m also realizing that for the first time in history the kids that are roaming cities now? They might be the very first generation that will never<\/em> need to learn to read.<\/p>\n I wonder if Berry Gordy finally did learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve been swallowing books lately.
