Two open mics and three other readings tonight.

At the Elliott Bay Book Company, Tom Farrey reads from Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of Our Children. I can’t really justify attending this reading: every day, I thank my parents for raising a mediocre child.

Up at Third Place Books, Janice Taylor reads from All is Forgiven, Move On. This seems to be a weight-loss book that will lead readers on “a journey to Sveltesville.” It looks, um, pretty…wacky.

And at the I.D. Library, Sasha Su-Ling Welland reads from A Thousand Miles of Dreams, which is “an evocative and intimate biography of two Chinese sisters who took very different paths in their quest to be independent women.” Like Cagney & Lacey!

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