Parable of the Sower is recommended

I'm about a month late with this post, but here goes... The Carl Brandon Society is dedicated to improving the visibility of people of color in the speculative genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and magical realism. Last month, on their blog, they posted a Black History Month SF Reading List, which includes Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler as the second book.  Check out the list for some excellent reading!
