Here’s what I would do tonight if I were you (as I wrote in Stranger Suggests):

Bill Buford
(READING) He went from being the high-powered New Yorker fiction editor to being a “slave” in a Mario Batali restaurant. His previous book, Among the Thugs, about hardcore soccer hooligans, is a nonfiction classic; this new one is called Heat, and it begins with an epigraph by George Orwell, which begins: “A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into.” (Elliott Bay Book Company, 101 S Main St, 624-6600. 7:30 pm, free.)

[Count the number of “beings” and “begins” in that paragraph. I did it on purpose, I swear!]
