Black Klansman
by Ron Stallworth
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This memoir was unbelievable. It sounds like fiction that an African American detective would become a full-fledged member of the Ku Klux Klan. His insertion into the Klan ranks was born from a half-hearted response to a newspaper ad from the local Klan chapter, an attempt to solicit intel on Klan materials for the Colorado Springs Police Department. To his surprise however, his "interest" was taken seriously. For the sake of an ensuing investigation into the inner-workings of Klan activity, Ron assumed a character over several years of phone corresondence with up to Grand Wizard of the KKK at the time, David Duke. Of course, the Klan was unaware the Ron Stallworth they were talking to on the phone was, in fact, a Black man. A fellow White detective pretending to be Ron stood in during in-person meetings, which allowed them to gather intelligence of Klan activity and have law enforcement prepared for any potential terroristic activity. Stallworth is highly knowledgeable on major players in the terse racial relations of the 1970s, as he ironically experienced the inner workings on both sides, i.e., the Black Panthers and other labor movements that clashed with the Klan's ideology. I listened to an audiobook version where Ron Stallworth narrated it himself and was captivated by his simple, direct style of retelling his experiences, typical of a law-enforcement officer. It's an eye-opener of how far we've come, but also a sad reminder that we still have a great distance to go as a society. Racism and bigotry have far from disappeared!

It's Jeff Meets Daredevil
by Kelly Thompson

book cover


One could argue that this doesn't count as reading. "There's no words Ollie", you might say. "This is the comic book equivalent of a picture book", one might taunt. I'll have you know that It's Jeff Meets Daredevil doesn't need words to tell it's beautiful and thought provoking story. The beautiful crafted one-shot featuring Jeff The Landshark as it's main character is an emotional rollercoaster filled with action and suspense.

The Lady and the Highwayman
by Sarah M. Eden

book cover


This may actually be a 4.5. The idea of a respectable Victorian woman writing penny dreadfuls under a man's name was intriguing. Eden's plot was a revealed mystery, and the strong point of the writing was the banter between characters. Extra kudos for the understandable dialect writing. That's not easy to pull off.
