Nominations Are Now Open...

As always, Black-Men-Who-Read?!,

you may nominate up to three (3) books for our November selection, beginning now. Nominations will be open for one solid week, and then on Wednesday, May 13, we will close nominations and vote on the books nominated. If one is the clear, far-and-away winning vote-getter, that will be the book we'll read in November (we're already reading Colson Whitehead's Sag Harbor for September). If more than one book is bunched together when the voting is done, the book will be voted on at the meeting.

We're meeting on Saturday, May 16th, at the University of Richmond, in our usual building, in our usual room, at 5 p.m., our usual time. The usual post-meeting hangout, I'm absolutely delighted---overjoyed---to announce, will be at our usual spot, the Cafe Guttenberg!

Let the nominations begin!
