Isn’t it surprising many on this board haven’t read any books by black authors.

Women:

Virginia Woolf
Sylvia Plath
Emily Dickinson
Dorris Lessing
Eudora Welty

Black:

Ralph Ellison
Langston Hughes
Amiri Baraka
Toni Morrison
John Edgar Wideman

I've never even read a book by a female author. I'm pretty sure I haven't read a nigger-authored book either, but not too sure.

James Gates is the only black author I think I've read. I'm guessing Neil deGrasse Tyson has books but I haven't read them. Does Indian count as black? Are we talking African or just black? How black... Because I have many, many CS and programming tech book co-authored by Indians.

Fuck man, we once had to read Toni Morrison for a project. It was some of the dullest, driest garbage I'd ever read, with a heavy dose of "muh oppression".

I've no interest in anything a woman or a darkie might say. As a white man I have no need to concern myself with inferior intellects.

I don’t like any female writers outside of a couple of short stories. My favorite black writers are Richard Wright, Ishmael Reed, Percival Everett, and Paul Beatty. But I want to know more so if you have any reccs outside of the obvious Baldwin and Morrison type stuff let me know please. I’m white but interested in black culture.

Are you a 12 to 17 year old or just having arrested development?

1. Gertrude Stein
2. Flannery O'Connor
3. Agatha Christie
4. Virginia Woolf
5. Alice Munro

Stein and O'Connor are among my favorite writers in general. I also really enjoy Christie. I'm not a big fan of Woolf but To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway both have its merit. I don't care for Alice Munro but I read one of her collection and it was decent enough and all other women I've read are worse. All things considered, it's a pretty good list, I thought it would be worse. I'll read some Shirley Jackson soon, she might take Munro's or even Woolf's spot.

For blacks, I'd have to take Toni Morrison on the first and only place. Sad, considering she didn't even make the the women's list. The Bluest Eye had some moments though, although I didn't like it as a whole. Otherwise I would have to leave this list completely empty.

Zadie Smith is really good and I would reccomend her even if she was white, which should be evidence that she's actually good. She's so much better than Morrison.
