Jaded Book Giveaway No. 4

Greetings, bibliophiles... you ready for another one? Yeah? Okay, then lets do this.

But first... WOO DOGGIE I really enjoyed last night's show. Really Truly!

I want to thank Smarty Jones for being a wonderful co-host and dishing up the counter-arguments. And a special thanks to all the listeners who called in or offered up opinions in the chat rooms... I loved every minute of it!! I think we all made great points for both sides and in the end decided that what we need to do as a collective is DEMAND BETTER from our filmmakers, and make our own opportunities in film & television.

Can the church say, Amen?

You can download the podcast here.

And now, on to the giveaway...

Here are the rules once again, for the cheap seats:

I have a lot of books; I'm being nice and giving some of them away. Below is a passage from a literary work and if you can be the first to name the book and it's author, I will send you TWO FREE BOOKS from my lovely collection.

Ready, set...

...

...

GO!

"...[E]ach of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches."

Do you know it??? Do you???

Aww, thanks for calling me wonderful. *blushes*
Wait, black people don't blush, do we?
Anyway, you're right, we've got to demand better. So if we get another monstrocity like "Soul Plane" or "Kingdom Come" I say we pull out the machetes, the gats and all other weapons and "ride on them fools!" LoL.
