Burton said in the video, “For over 30 years, you know I have shared the power of storytelling with readers of all ages [...] and now, you and I can explore our love of the written word through some of my favorite books and authors together as a reading community on Fable.”
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Burton shared two other titles already picked for the club: Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and a collection of works entitled The Fire This Time, edited by Jesmyn Ward. Of these initial selections Burton remarked, “Obviously, there are hundreds of books that have shaped my identity as a reader, and these three are really representative of an important aspect of that journey for me.” New titles will be announced every three months for members of the club, which is part of Fable’s premium subscription service.
The LeVar Burton Book Club joins the podcast LeVar Burton Reads as a way to share a passion for reading and community, giving Burton the opportunity, he says, “to continue to introduce my audience to new authors in the service of widening our perspectives.” He added, “I couldn't ask for anything more.”
