Education continues after Graduation

Borders is having a HUGE going out of business sale!!! If you are in the Atlanta area be sure to check out the Borders on Ashford-Dunwoody Rd...great deals. Lately the feeling of stupidity has been setting in...feeling like I haven't learned anything worth sharing with anyone. One of the downsides to that excellent break between undergrad and grad school is wanting to go back at this very moment. I don't want to fill out all the necessary paperwork, take the GRE and write a 2 page paper on why I am qualified to receive an education at "your" prestigious university. So what do I do...I read, and read and read hoping to engage in conversation with other scholars and those who have chosen not to further their education.

So six new books to read = yaaaaaaaaay! Currently reading in order
 1) Family Affair: What It Means to Be African American Today edited by Gil L. Robertson then
 2) It's Bigger Than Hip Hop: The Rise of The Post Hip Hop Generation - M. K. Asante Jr.
 3) The Anthology of Rap - Edited by Adam Brady and Andrew Dubois
 4) Jay-Z Decoded - Shawn Carter and Dream Hampton
 5) The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni 1968-1998
