    Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking-Susan Cain

    “The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments--both physical and emotional--unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss--another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”
    ― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

    it isn't anything "deep" like you all are posting

    but its a great period piece and entertaining as hell

    This guy has experienced, and documents in this book, international black music history (and black history period) from like the 30s to the damn 80s...in a very entertaining and provocative fashion.

    and it has that black street edge to it. At times i felt i was reading certain points of the Autobiography of Malcolm X

    check it out

    Josephus. The year is 100ad. He documents Roman life for 80% of the bookand as a side effect just so happened to include the earliest outside the church writing of who Jesus was and how christians were oddly seen as atheists by the roman government. This writing about Christians comes before the bible's new testament was canonized
