We read. A lot. You should too.
Every other Thursday, we have FCG Book Club!, an opportunity to explore new ideas, stretch our creative boundaries, and discuss ways to change the world. You can read along with us or pick up a few of the titles from our library to add to your collection. We’ve included links from some of our favorite Black bookstores for you to grab anything you’re interested in.
What We’re Reading Now
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
As a long-term science fiction fan, I am thrilled that my choice for our book club was chosen. I nominated this book not only because the author is an important figure to our company, but also because it takes place in the futuristic world of 2025, and we might find some alarming similarities to our modern day.
I think our main character will teach us the power of empathy and community, and how we can bring those together to save humanity.
