Lots of people try to understand the mind of Tupac through his writings, music, and interviews. What’s seldom talked about is the fact that he was an avid reader. So I searched around for just a few of the books he was known to have read. This website took the time to list most of them. I thought that I would just grab 20. How many of these have you read?
