My copy of The Autobiography of Malcom X. I have had it since I was 15 years old. I am in my late 30s now. It is still interesting to me to see how beat up it is. None of my books look like that one does. I am so glad that I still have it no matter what condition it is in. Looking at it reminds me how much I enjoyed reading it years ago. It will always be a favorite.
