Bring the Noise!---er, Books!

I'm eyeballs deep into Our Kind of People, and I have to say, this is why I appreciate our book-selection process. I remember when Graham's book came out, and I always meant to read it, but honestly, while it was on my list, it was so far down on that list that I'm not sure I ever would have actually read it. And now, not only will I have read the book, but I can look forward to sitting around our Black Men Read?! table and reacting to it and listening to---and reacting to---eacn of your reactions to it. What could be better than that?

I say all that to say this: it's getting to be near book selection time again. Think of what you might want to suggest, and the system will be started up again not long after the new year. We'll be picking for March and May---I think. Rodney, you talked about a joint meeting with a women's group for March, didn't you?; what do you have in mind for which book we'll read? Should we pick as usual, and then invite the other group to read our selection with the understanding that next joint meeting we'll read what they're reading? Or vice versa? Let me know.

By the way, I'd appreciate it if you brothers would enter a brief comment below, just this once [even if it's no more than "present"], so I'll be sure who's gotten the message, okay?

Oh, and by the way: and I can't make dinner this off-meeting month: I'm going to Chattanooga to see the Richmond Spiders play for the FCS national championship, 8 p.m. Friday night on ESPN!!!!

GO SPIDERS!!!!
