Say A Little Prayer For Me
I just finished reading E. Lynn Harris' new "I Say a Little Prayer". Read the thing in like 5 hours. I've enjoyed Most of his books, but I thought this one was excellent. In the beginning I thought the main character was going to be kind of a asshole with his whole" three date rule" or should I say three fuck rule. You start liking the guy and understanding why he is the way he is by the middle though. For those who've read his previous books...Yancy shows up( she didn't learn her lesson after all and Basil's in love with Ray.
I was gonna write a post entitled "Embarrassing Shit about ME" but yeah, had second thoughts about that one.
I'm listening to "Stay" by Lisa Loeb right now and it's stirring these feelings.....
This cheers me up though

Stay is one of those sing in the mirror holding a hairbrush as your mic songs and then start throwing pillows off your bed when she starts going off...lol

I did not care for this book AT ALL!
I find it very disgraceful someone would promote a challenge between Man and his pride of life (And sexuality) against the bible and biblical principles.

I don't like E. Lynn Harris's works that much.
I could see the acclaim of Invisible Life because of the times and how groundbreaking it was, and all praises for that. But his books never seem to break the mold. They always have the same eseences. I read the book and I didn't like it. The climax was very anticlimactic for me. HOwever, because of the issues I was having with the church it was fppd for that time and place.
Also, even though his books are really dry to me, when he reads them they come to life.
I just wish the life was there when I read them.

You know what? I love E. Lynn from WAY back but this book did not really do it for me like the others. I did like the fact that he talked about homosexuality and the church.
