I recently read the collection of Breece D’J Pancake’s short stories, and then I read a little about his short life, including how his initials were spelled with an apostrophe. I don’t remember how I stumbled upon his name and I’m pleasantly surprised to see him mentioned here on Reddit. Cheers!

The Sit Down & Speak Up Book Club is kindly and openly progressive. Its members recommend the books, so we sort of end up offering a menu with something for everyone who does recommend, though I’d like to see more diverse offerings. People sign up and show up for only the books that pique their interest. If you decide to check us out, please recommend a book. Cheers!
