Next Book Club Dinner

Tentative dates for the next book club need to be set still because some people might be going away for Fourth of July weekend. Please suggest possible dates so we can figure this out.

Would June 22 or 23 work for folks?

The next book is Flannery O'Connor - Wise Blood

She grew up in Georgia and is known for the Southern Gothic style (Faulkner is also known for this style) - often grotesque characters who are deeply flawed. She is most famous for her short stories, such as "A Good Man Is Hard to Find."

Menu will include grits, crawfish, hog maws and snouts, chicken feet, chitterlings, fried dill pickles, and black-eyed peas. Millie will eat a little of everything.
