    Hi Mr. George,
    Your shelf is quite inclusive and impressive. It comes close to being a history of the 1970's lit and geopolitics. I grew up in Manhattan during those years and later was a teacher for over 30 years in Harlem and Washington Heights. My memories of the 'drug wars' in the late 60's and 70's have contributed to my attempt to complete a memoir of my experiences.
    The writers who most moved me during that era were Claude Brown ("Manchild..), Hemingway("Sun also Rises", "Farewell to Arms"), James Baldwin ("Another Country", "Giovanni's Room"), J.D. Salinger("Franny@Zooey"), Zora Neale Hurston ("Their Eyes Were Watching God"), Jack Kerouac (Road novels) and many of the classics.
    I congratulate you on your success and look forward to continued correspondence.

    Robert P.
