Richard Wright wrote it like he saw it, with tight prose and a keen insight into the nature of man. Yet the book that I'll remember on my deathbed is Sounder, written by William Armstrong. A simple tale about a boy and his dog, but a story that ignited my passion for books. Rarely does a story like Sounder captures the essence of time and place in so few words. Magic: the ability to transform reality. I thrive to achieve such magic one day...Yes, I thrive.
