From the mind of Gil Scott-Heron, (whose “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” energized a generation and set the table for what was to become hip-hop), we offer his memoir penned before his death in 2011.

The Last Holiday is among our Best Books for 2012 – a list that also features a book about the Godfather of Soul, a book from a doctor who died and met God in heaven (true story), as well as an Oprah Book Club 2.0 pick by debut author Ayana Mathis.

And what 2012 list would be complete without 50 Shades of Grey (yes, we went there…)

Our Best Books of 2012 List is both eclectic yet well-rounded, giving a little something for everyone.
