Reading (E-Reader) - "I'd Rather We Got Casinos And Other Black Thoughts" - Larry Wilmore

I'm in reading limbo at the moment, recovering from the Christmas season.  Partially started a number of books, some on "Intelligent Design", "Red Pyramid" with my son (Rick Riordan's new series) and a stab at a few others.

The only one that's "sticking" right now is Larry Wilmore's  "I'd Rather We Got Casinos And Other Black Thoughts".  I'm familiar with Larry Wilmore from his recurrent spots on "The Daily Show with John Stewart", and like his low-key approach.

The book is a series of essays and letters he's written over time on various "Black" topics (e.g. his suggestions to alter the term "African American").

The essays read like his Daily Show character - quiet but biting.
