oooh get you!!!
Camus is someone I want to read but never have. I thirst for knowledge on figures who will change my thinking. Che, Marx, Luther King and the likes.
I'm currently reading Malcom X's autobiography and it's brilliant. So interesting to see him change from street scum to a man who would educate the masses on how the white man tried to eradicate the black man's history and legacy.
For anyone who doesn't know the X is a replacement of the slave surname the white man gave the black man.
