32 votes Before Breakfast by Jesse Stuart
The July selection is 32 votes Before Breakfast by Jesse Stuart. In this collection of 20 short stories, Stuart tells about rural politics in the South in rougher and tougher times. Stuart’s stories deal with connivance as old as the Kentucky hills and remind us that there’s nothing new about political skullduggery. 32 Votes Before Breakfast is available to Regional Readers for $12 per copy.
The book group is open to all and new members are always welcome. We encourage suggestions for the 2025 reading list.
