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 😀

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.

I've added Defining Moments to my wants list. Sounds a good read. Yeah, Nigger ,I think is his (1st) autobiography. I'll probably buy that first.

Cheers Troy. 

Finally bought this. My next read after the Leroi Jones autobiography.

 

 

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.
