I can proudly say that he is one of my idols for the things he did, and the things he wrote about with the intentions to better this country, or better yet the world. His works will continue to prove what happened in the history of our country to the generations to come. im just sad i couldnt have the honor of shaking his hand while he was still with us.

Granted I dont like reading as much but I found Mr. Baldwin such an amazing writer. I liked the way he captured my attention with life experiences of his on as well as society. Everything seemed so real. I wish I have had a chance to meet him, but unfortunaltely he had to leave us. I'm leaving this comment because I'm pretty sure there is a lot of individuals in this world today who really dont like to read books, but I feel that if they would read at least one of his books they will absolutely love the enjoyment of reading.
