It’s ten o’clock, and if you’re reading this, you’re too late to get to the big reading of the day. Eoin Colfer, who I wrote about yesterday in Reading Tonight, and David “The Goot” Guterson will be interviewed at a taping of a weekly radio show. There are also musical guests. Don’t you feel bad for sleeping in now?

Up in Port Townsend, Kim Addonizio, who used to be a poet but now writes novels, and Gary Lilley, who is a poet, will try to figure out which of them works in the art form that is dying faster. Not really. They’ll talk about writing and stuff.

And at Elliott Bay Book Company, Kate Braestrup, who is a “search and rescue chaplain” will talk about her book, Here If You Need Me, which is about her life in Maine. I hate to devalue the work of a fellow Mainer, but if you’re looking for something about emergency work in small-towns and other ruminations on rural life, Michael Perry’s Population 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time is the way to go. That was such a great book.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.

Dan Savage advocates for the Iraq War in The Stranger--Oct. 2002

"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times."

"In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."
