I'm interested in reading books 'with' folks, virtually, of course, and discussing them here. Please post some books you'd like to read/share with others. I've posted a Jimmy Baldwin book I'd like to read next (I just finished 'Giovanni's Room') and Chris Abani's recent novel 'Graceland'. Any others?

Hi Rona & whoever!I'd be interested in reading together -- I always tend to be more likely to get what I want done when I'm doing it with other people. I was also planning on reading some of Chris Abani's novels soon, but I'd be open to others.

Yes--let's read. I'm interested in reading more Baldwin too. I'm reading 'Black Girl in Paris' right now after finishing 'Giovanni's Room' (what can I say, I miss paris!). Maybe we could read 'Graceland' together. any others interested?
I've been meaning to read Chris Abani, too. I'm in.
Sounds great! I should be hitting solid ground by this weekend & ready to begin -- what's the easiest way to do this? Were you thinking of reading the entire book by a certain date & then discussing afterwards or as we go along? I'd be open to reading Baldwin though I've already read Another Country.
I like your suggestion Ching-In. A good 'deadline' for me would be by the middle of October? (sorry i'm a slow reader!). Would that work for y'all? Let's start with 'Graceland'? Rona
Middle of October works for me -- it's a long book, I think:-) What about you, Mendi --- or anybody else?
Hey I'm in just let me know which book by Chris Abani and when.
i'd really like to read 'song for night' by abani, at some point. but i am up for 'graceland' too. i read it a couple years ago, so i will have to brush up on details.
I'm going to read every Chris Abani book I can get my hands on! So yes to Graceland & yes to Song for Night too!
Let's plan on reading 'Graceland' by the end of October and then 'Song for Night'. Sound good? Let's read!
that sounds like a good plan
