this will be my second time to read this book, good thing I have forgotten what it is about, it will seem fresh to me I think.
OMG Margaret - you are missing quite the discussion over in the BR for Black Like Me. Just thought of you, that is all.
Well don't know when you gals will be starting, but I need a couple of weeks to get through some other prior commitments, but this has been on my bookshelf for a few years and on my tbr list since I don't even know when - years and years. It is on my A-Z challenge this year.
Sarah! I love good discussions, man....I wish I could grab Black Like Me and join you all. We'll see, I am going to town on Monday so I might try to get all my needed books then. I am #2 on the waiting list for this book but perhaps it would be perfect because I wouldn't mind waiting until I can read it at the same time as you. I forget when Joi said she will be reading this. Whew....I think my head is spinning right now! :P
Let me know when someone wants to start. I will be ready.

I read that book in High School. It really stuck with me over the years

This topic is open for discussion of Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
Book Synopsis:
One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose.
A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published - perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
