Hello world!

Thank you for visiting The Big Block Goes on Top books blog. This blog is going to be dedicated to books. Books are an important part of my life.  Since I was a child I have loved books.  Paul( my grandfather) would read encyclopedia Britannica to me and the books of the bible.  Then for while I lost interest in books until college. My love for books reemerged when my television was the victim of lighting.

In college , multicultural literature helped me realize that people from others different cultures are more similar than different. It made me realize that humans regardless of race, class or gender have the same concerns and fears.It was multicultural Literature class that ignited my interest in folk tales and professor Feinstein introduced me to Zora Neele Hurston.

During  college I discovered great authors like fellow St. Louisan Maya Angelou. I also embraced feminist literature bell hooks,  and Paula Giddings. Over the years the types of books I read have expanded, self help, fiction, biographies, text books, and children’s books.

Title for this blog comes from my autobiography that God willing will be release this fall.  I hope this blog will be  a corner stone  for the foundation on which my dreams become reality.  The books that are dicussed here will inspire educate and entertain, just as  The Big Block Goes on Top will.
