medusa Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maya Angelou's family have released a statement revealing her death, this morning, aged 86. For those who have never read Maya's writing, can I recommend that you read one of her books in memoriam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinz Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Absolutely. Amazing woman. 'I know Why the Caged Bird Sings' is a masterpiece. I agree, sad to read that the book was banned in some libraries and universities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Books should never be banned in libraries, I should know, I fought nail and tooth to get Mein Kampf to sit next to Churchill's accounts of World War two. I am ashamed to not have read her work, there are limits even to an (ex) librarian's reading capacity, but her books sit on the shelf in anticipation and have now been pushed forward in the planning.

tzijlstra Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 What's shameful about not reading her work? The fact that it has been on my "to read" list for over ten years and I have never got round to it. I suppose that is something that only librarians get ashamed of though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
