"Life will give you what you deserve, even when people don't. You don't believe that, you just keep on living."The next book I'm reading is Basketball Jones by E. Lynn Harris. He's an author I spent a lot of time reading my freshman year, because someone had a lot of his books. Easy access is a sure way for me to read up on anything. If it's readily available and appears interesting, I'm with it. I actually got this book from my roommate who just finished reading it. Crazy thing is, he (E. Lynn Harris) died last week, and my first tattoo is a quote I took from one of his novels.
"The streets is killing more black boys than white folks ever could. We always had more than one enemy."
... there's another page that said something about "if you think you've been licked, then they already won", but cleary I didn't mark the page, and I can't find it.
I guess, in a way, he's with me forever then. It says "She and Survival were long time friends". At this time (look below), the tattoo was still fresh.
Just Thinking & Reading,

Nice gesture. He was a wonderful author.
