May MashableReads Discussion with James McBride!

Can't make tonight's meetup in person? Watch the Google Hangout here (http://on.mash.to/1sQIDxj)!

Our next selection for Mashable's social book club MashableReads is The Good Lord Bird by James McBride!

In James McBride’s National Book Award-winning novel The Good Lord Bird, we follow Henry, a slave boy who is picked up by passionate abolitionist John Brown as he moves throughout the midwest fighting against slavery. But, due to a mixup, Henry has to pose as a girl, Henrietta to survive. McBride’s sweeping novel is a brilliant satire, and darkly humorous — one that will leave you questioning everything.

We'll be discussing The Good Lord Bird with James McBride himself at our New York City headquarters on May 20 at 5:30pm ET. We hope you'll be able to join us for a great community book discussion!
