Enter into the world of Author Keith Kareem Williams. Mr. Williams takes his readers into his mind's eye as he is in the process of writing. In this book brings to the light deepest thoughts, craziest comparisons, and great quotes that you can use in your everyday living. The author gives you a look into his daily life from his career, his family, and a little feel of his writing style. I cant say much about this book because it is so easy to give away.

I have to say that this was a very different read from other's books that I have read in the past. It was a nice nugget to go into a mind of the author. I never read a book that has first a crazy title that makes you think twice and also that is that intimate from an African American author. With short chapters and great poetry this makes a quick read for any reader that is on the go.

This collection of writings by Keith Williams is like eating one piece of your favorite candy at a time as you slowly enjoy the explosion of flavors it sets off in your mouth. Each piece as good or better than the last.
I have to say its also a bit of a tease when I would rather be reading another full novel by this talented writer, but how can I complain- I enjoyed it.

"Without art and literature that stirs human emotions, we wouldn't realize how connected and similar we are..."

Keith Williams has captured so many truths that I can relate to within the pages of thoughts; some random, some not; he shares with his readers in Volume II. I found so many good morsels of thought expressed in ways that resonated with thoughts of my own. It somehow validates ones own thoughts to read them in a kind of memoir fashion. You realize you are not alone in thinking some things or questioning some things.
I believe readers who are also thinkers will really enjoy this volume. Followers and fans will also enjoy seeing a bit deeper into Williams mind.
I found the book was well suited to a few pages at a time with some contemplation on certain passages.
