Maurice 87 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'm very new to Dick's books. What should I start off with ? His 1964 autobiography? Callous on my Soul? Please help with some recommendations. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troy 2,584 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've read two of Gregory's books, hist last, Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies and one of his first (I believe), No more lies: The myth and the reality of American history. His most popular book is Nigger. I have not read it, but I'd probably recommend it first. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Nigger ,I think is his (1st) autobiography. I'll probably buy that first. Cheers Troy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maurice 87 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Finally bought this. My next read after the Leroi Jones autobiography. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troy 2,584 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I read this book. Gregory says some radical even conspiracy theory stuff. The publisher said they vetted all his stuff, so I was anxious to read what the book contained. I don't recall anything particularly revelatory. Let us know what you discover.

It might be a while yet. Last couple of weeks, I've hardly read the Jones autobiography as I've been busy looking after my wife post op, been off with a bad back from work and now, sadly my mother in law just passed away. So, things will return to ' normal ' at some stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
