I got a kick out of Lil' Kim's spokesman saying he recently created a reading list for her. Given her something more to ruminate while a victim of The Wicked System. Then, after seemingly being pressed for titles, he cited these stellar tomes:
* The Autobiography of Malcolm X
* I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
* The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Nice list, right? I'm thinking the Queen Bee could wind up with both a Martha and an Oprah moment. This could be the accidental jumpoff of an influential new book club. You know, the Kimmie reads them while on lock down, then gives the world a thumbs up or down. Fans stay connected and accidentally more enlightened.
Yes-yes, y'all. From Sing-Sing.

There is reason to believe, as the
phenomena of interpersonal relations, that socially engineered encounters rarely permit the freedom of speech necessary to accurately articulate the fine points of any given transaction. Also,within some psychological circles and professional ranks, 'elicited' speech is thought to be the truest example of personal thought and feelings, although the reality can be the exact opposite -- that words and phrases coaxed or demanded from a subject can be horrendously misinter-preted and misapplied.
'Lil' Kim' is a theme, and specific people have inspired that theme -- what should be limelight events are often ruined as 'freedom of the press' ethic is applied as the power to grab and sell multiple copies of any original work that shows up on a factory door-step, and lead any interested parties onto stage.
The person should be allowed to choose her own reading, apart from the 'dreams' of 'just-ice' factions to use stepping-stone tactics as means of personal advancement.

Thanks for commenting, Marcia. But honestly, you "had me at hello." (Lost, that is.)
