Hey,
 
I recently read the following and found them to be fabulous:
 
Play/poetry- For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the
Rainbow Is Enuf by Mtozake Shange
This is technically a play, but if you enjoy poetry, I would read this.
It is a riveting piece of literature that incorporates multiple artistic
expressions.  It looks at issues women face, but it is so beautifully
written.  It is not for everyone, but I recommend it.  I found it on
RFBD (which I do not prefer, but I have not found it elsewhere yet)
 
Creative nonfiction memoir- Bigger Than Life:  A Memoir by Dinah Lenney
Dinah is an actor and writer.  Her bio is impressive.  The book recounts
her father's murder and how this has influenced her life.  I had the
great pleasure to hear her read from this work for a reading series my
university host each year.  She was just fabulous and the book is great.
I have not found an accessible form yet, but I just bought a hard copy
and scanned it.  Lenney experiments with form and structure, which I
like.  I strongly encourage people to read this.
 
I would love to hear from anyone about books, any genre, that they have
read recently and enjoyed.
 
Bridgit
