I have so many ebooks on my laptop its ridiculous. Last book I read is called Cht n ankh(tree of life) by the great Dr. Muata Ashby. It's currently my favorite book. Otherwise, I have many books by Cheikh Anta Diop on the topic of Kmtyw history and a few by Ra Un Nefer Amen on the topic of ancient spirituality and metaphysics.

Serious list! Care to give summary of any once completed? Maybe we can all jump on a video conference session to share our summaries. Thoughts?

I want to get Dr. Winbush's book later this summer. What's your take on it so far.

It's incredibly documented, loaded with history and well researched. It doesn't speak in great details all the damage done but it does summarize it. From what I've read thus far, it gives a ton of remedies/reparations ideas of how it could be applied. it also speaks on the legal battles for reparations.
I would definitely recommend the book.

What informs your choice of books to read? Is it the title, the author, a recommendation etc

Definitely recommendations from people, from references made in other books, movies, etc. After this, I want to look into a good introductory book on numerology and metaphysics. Any recommendations?

For me it usually starts by subject then from the references quoted. Oh and Kmtyw authors are the starting point.

I was going to ask later if people here read from white authors. If yes, under what conditions would you read a white authored text and what are the reasons one would decline to ever read white authored texts.
Thanks for your insight @kev. I find subject too to be a big motivator, then who writes it and i ask myself why too.

Mekyea mo,
I am reading "the (rhind) Ahmose mathematical papyrus", "the star of deep beginnings", "the world and Kmt", "the koran", and "the blueprint for black power".
I pick books based on the topic and the books which are recommended typically get pushed to the front. A few of the great historians highly recommend reading the work of authors from other races. Dr. Clarke suggests reading winston churchill and others. I would suggest reading stanley lane poole because it tells of Kmtyw history.

This month I'm going to re-read Dr. Anthony Ephirim-Donkor's books, "Kmtyw Spirituality: On Becoming Ancestors" and "Kmtyw Personality and Spirituality: The Role of Abosom and Human Essence."
The goal is to take good notes and study the Akan proverbs, and concepts in both books.

Dumelang!
Ok, so this is an old thread, but over here we are in the dead of winter (the worst has passed...)
I've been reading Muata Ashby's Kemetic Tree of Life (Cht n Ankh) and an e-book I got by Cezanne Taharqua called 'How to Get the Ring on Your Finger'.
Another book in my view is "How to Get the Job You Really Want' by James Caan but I keep putting it down for extended intervals! Therefore I do read white authors, though I see they are mostly fiction. Some great Kmtyw minds like Credo Mutwa have influenced me not to give that up. I think if yt stole from us we can still recover something from them.
My choices on what to read are mostly based on what I would like to learn about and what's available because I don't have money to buy books. My parents had a bookshelf when I was growing up, and since the advent of the internet Afrocentrics websites like Kmtspeaks have also given me an idea of what I might like to have in my own library.
Interestingly, some of that fiction by yt has rubbed me the wrong way more than once; like when I only realised that I wasn't supposed to be having sympathy for the main characters of a short story set during the Mau-Mau struggle when I re-read it!. The author had 'slipped me a Mickey' and I only noticed because she was calling the freedom fighters murderers!
Another short stories title 'The Decameron Boccaccio' was sitting at my bedside before I moved here a week ago. But I still don't have a bedside lamp!
