First order of beeswax: does everyone have access to a copy of Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Beautiful Struggle"? Let me know.
Second: you are welcome to post anything you want here, book-related or not. Send me your items, post to the comments section or let me if you want the site password if that's easier for you.
Third thing: anyone may join in the fracas. This is a place where we can stay in touch with our friends' ideas. A non-Zuckerbergian approach to the online conversation.
Lastly: we can dissolve this page at anytime. Let's try it out for the duration of Coates' book. Speaking of, your thoughts so far?
