![]() But I always give out and give up before I get through it. I love Irish poetry, prose and nonfiction. I like Nelson Mandela’s way of restorative reconciliation and inclusion better. I think Isabel Wilkerson’s Casteand Adam Grant’s Think Again forced me to rethink how deeply embedded our unexamined preconceptions are, not just in relation to race, gender, class and religion, but to any number of categories that lead us to see others as inferior, less worthy of being seen and heard. From my senior year in college to my first year in law school, I read five books that made me think it was worth a try: North Toward Home by Willie Morris The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron You Can’t Go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. I always wanted to be a writer, but doubted my ability to do it. The book that had the greatest influence on my writing Read John Grisham's Sooley, you’ll want to cry too I still believe it’s the greatest novel written since William Faulkner died. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. ![]()
