]]> Comment on History of Street Fiction and Why It Appeals to Readers by NikkiNin http://www.streetfiction.org/history-of-street-fiction-and-why-it-appeals-to-readers/comment-page-1/#comment-60021 NikkiNin Tue, 03 May 2011 03:49:22 +0000 http://www.streetfiction.org/?p=1945#comment-60021 Having recently finished my first novel, (found at nikkinin.com) I found myself rediscovering the black interest books that I grew up reading. The good books, the real books. I was a Terri McMillan, Michael Baisden, Toni Morrison type of girl. I always remember how deep those books were. Even if the stories were complete fiction, the characters were going through real drama. Nowadays I read stuff and i almost immediately put it back down. I dont know. Im only 23 years old. I dont want to say "back in my day", because realistically, my day was yesterday. Lol. But, shoot, back in my day books were better. Native son by Richard Wright gave me nightmares for weeks. Carl Weber was an early favorite of mine as well. Part of the reason these books appealed to me is because of the lingo. Sometimes in life you have to speak properly, and although I can function very well having to articulate as if educated, I'm more comfortable saying "yo," and wassup". I think these urban lit books made it ok to write and read a story where language wasnt grammatically correct. With that being said I'm also excited at delving deeper into these authors who I have never heard of. 1722: Moll Flanders. I didnt know it went back that far.

I LOVE all the Thug series books. I don't agree that Kyron should be the father of Tasha's baby (sorry y'all). I'm an optimistic and if she is pregnant I want it to be her husband's. They really have been through too much together to go out like that. Trae if FIIIIINNNNNEEEE so of course the ladies are going ogle and the same with Tasha, but they have a family and I hope Ms. Clark shows in this next book that truly "Every thug needs a lady" and they get their family right. As for the Marvin, Kyra should still amongst the crew, so I hope he get what he deserves. I'd like Jaz and Faheem to be a little more active and OF COURSE, MY baby Kaylin and beautiful Angel need NO alteration!!!! IF they start having issues, PLEASE Wahida, send Kaylin my way I'll solve EVERYTHING for him; or at least attempt to :) WOW! I LOVE all the Thug series books.

It almost seems as if the book never went to edit.
