McIntyre’s welcomes Reverend Mansel Philip McCleave to read from Hunger Pains in Our Heads. During the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, weary Black Americans became fed up with mistreatment and sub par living standards. Demanding equal rights and justice, the student sit-in movement in Greensboro, North Carolina, became a vital part of Blacks making strides to become equal.
Hunger Pains in Our Heads describes the pressures leading up to that fateful day, the people involved in the event, and the lasting impact after that day. Reverend McCleave was in the midst of these events as he was an instructor at NC A&T College where the students attended. He describes in great detail the days leading up to the Woolworth Student Sit-In Movement.

Join us at McIntyre’s for the first meeting of the new McIntyre’s-sponsored book club, Bookends! We will kick things off on February 18th with Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. On March 18th, we'll "bookend" the conversation with John Updike's A Month of Sundays. The former (1850) an undisputed classic, the latter (1975) a recent expression of the enduring themes of sin and society. McIntyre's is offering a 20% discount on The Scarlet Letter for members until February 18th. Space is limited, so please call to let us know you are coming. (919) 542-3030.
About Bookends Book Club
Bookends' moderator Wayne Pond is the former director of UNC's Department of Humanities and Human Values. Bookends is a departure from the usual one-book-at-a-time format and instead, it offers a taste of great vintages (metaphorically, so as to keep our wits about us) in original as well as newly-fashioned vessels. That is, Bookends will present lively and engaging discussions focusing on pairs of novels (or short stories or poems) that explore noteworthy literary themes from both classic and contemporary perspectives. For more information about Bookends, call (919) 542-3030.

Kathleen Grissom visits to read from The Kitchen House, a historical fiction novel set in Virginia and praised by Publisher’s Weekly as a debut that “twists the conventions of the antebellum novel…provides a trove of tension and grit, while the many nefarious doings will keep readers hooked to the twisted, yet hopeful, conclusion.” It has been selected as a National Blue Ribbon Choice for the clubs (Literary Guild, Doubleday, etc) for March. Blue Ribbon Choices are new authors whose novel is chosen across all clubs as an extraordinary book selection - the only other titles selected for this are The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Help, The Little Giant of Aberdeen County, and Of Bees and Mist.
