That cocakamamie <A HREF="http://wutheringexpectations.blogspot.com/2009/01/19th-century-yiddish-reading-list-pt-1.html" REL="nofollow">story</A> about reading Yiddish literature because I don't have a vacation planned was partly true. But I also wanted to corral some of my ignorance, and why hadn't I ever read Sholem Aleichem?<br /><br />If you want to write more about black authors, and female authors, I strongly recommend a <A HREF="http://wutheringexpectations.blogspot.com/search/label/Senegal" REL="nofollow">trip to Senegal</A>.
