Modern Dramatists: Wole Soyinka
By: James Gibbs
another random pull. almost didn’t bring it along because i low key feared it would be too heavy, but it was oh too lovely!
- 4.0/5.0
- i believe i would have enjoyed this text much more if i was familiar with more of brother soyinka’s works as well as details of afrikan political history. books such as this one truly embrace holistic education. in one experience i was informed & mildly educated on nigerian cultural, religious, & political history as well as radio & shakespearean playwright techniques.
- if you love soyinka, nigeria, afrikan culture, or playwrights in general i would highly suggest taking the time to read this text. i would be interested in reading more synopses by gibbs because it read easily & truly seemed unbiased. it seems this text originated from an older siblings scholastic era.

smh…. i can’t find the text
the text has been found! [1.8.18]
who doesn’t love octavia e. butler? grabbed this text off of my bookcase as i was walking out the door one morning because it was small & could easily fit in my pocketbook. a relatively interesting tale of a young black woman’s unexpected rise to power.
- 3.0/5.0
- don’t get me wrong this book had me on the edge of my seat at some moments, but those were few. having previously read kindred i guess i was expecting something very similar or as entertaining, but was left disappointed. because it was a quick read i gave it a bit of a higher rating, it should also be mentioned that i did not read the prequel to this text, but didn’t not find this to be an issue in any manner. if you’re into science fiction, life extension, reincarnation, mental magic, afrikan history, aliens, astral projection, kemetics, sociology & things of the like or just have some idle time on your hands this book is for you.
- not exactly sure how this text found it’s way into my library, but it did. im going to hold on to it simply because it is one of two octavia books in my possession, however i do not know if i would purchase it. that being said i would suggest borrowing this text from your local library & decide for yourself it should have a home in your collection.

so this text somewhat speaks for itself. for some reason it was also in the why have i not completed you yet? pile. a text for anyone who is interested in the inner & outer workings of these worlds… a friendly reminder & mind blower all at the same time. take your time with it & like all great works revisit…
- 5.0/5.0
- a simple & introductory text to hermetic teachings. coupled with good intent this text can take even a novice quite far. from the principles of polarity, to the principles of gender, the kybalion easily takes one through the highs & lows of life.
- i highly suggest purchasing this book for your personal library. it is filled with life gems & words of wisdom
