Book Marks

Over the weekend I read Mosley's Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned- “Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his huge, rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. In a place of violence and hopelessness, Socrates offers up his own battle-scarred wisdom that can turn the world around.”

And now. I'm close to finishing Mosley's R.L's Dream- “Soupspoon Wise is dying on the unforgiving streets of New York City, years and worlds away from the Mississippi delta, where he once jammed with blues legend Robert "RL" Johnson. Kiki Waters is determined to let Soupspoon ride out the final notes of his haunting blues dream, to pour out the remarkable tale of what he's seen, where he's been -- and where he's going.“

Soupspoon Wise... a damn fine name.
