Well, now. We’ve got a book club favorite, a ‘behavioral economist’ who I refuse to talk about at length, and a whole lot more.

Out at Bastyr, Elisabeth Squires reads from bOObs: A Guide to Your Girls, which is about breast health and maintenance. Squires’ website is loaded with breast puns and other breasticisms, which are like witticisms, only with breasts instead of wit.

At Kane Hall, Irving Gottesman is reading from…well, he’s not reading from anything but notes, really, but he is giving a lecture about genetics and mental disorders and lots of other things.

Local author Molly Gloss is reading at Queen Anne Books. She can write a purty sentence, that Molly Gloss, but I’ll never forgive her for the first If All Seattle Read the Same Book book, Wild Life, which used having sex with Bigfoot as a metaphor for living the free life. And it was completely uninteresting! How do you write an uninteresting book about fucking Bigfoot?

And Diane Wei Liang is reading her newest Mei Wang mystery at the Douglass-Truth branch of SPL. I’ve heard that these are good, if you like mysteries with serial characters, and the author, who participated in the Tiananmen Square protests, should give a lively Q&A session.

Full readings calendar, including the next week or so, here.
