"Intellectuals ought to study the past not for the pleasure they find in so doing, but to derive lessons from it"

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

Sent from my BLL-L21 using Abibitumi Kasa mobile app

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?
