Books Reading Tonight
posted by on July 30 at 10:18 AM
Two readings tonight.
In Mukilteo, at the Mukilteo Booksellers bookstore, David Ash reads from his series of Haiku for LifeŽ books. They are collections of haiku for you to use in your life. There are titles like Haiku for Catholics, Haiku for Office Workers, Haiku for Chocolate Lovers, Haiku for Dog Lovers, and Haiku for Poker Lovers. I met David Ash once, and he’s a very nice, very good-natured man. This is all I’m going to say about Haiku for LifeŽ books, David Ash, or Mukilteo.
And at Third Place Books, Hilarie Cash and Kim McDaniel read from Video Games & Your Kids. While I’m sure that this won’t be all “OMG YOUR KIDS ARE BEING CORRUPTED BY VIDEO GAMES,” I’m sure that there will be a little bit of “OMG YOUR KIDS ARE BEING CORRUPTED BY VIDEO GAMES!” Maybe certain people who blog about video games for The Stranger should go to this and challenge Hilarie Cash and Kim McDaniel to an arm-wrestling match.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
I'm going to that second meeting with my Nintendo DS, volume set to 11.
Arm wrestling match? More like Quake deathmatch.
The cover of that book is terrifying. What the hell do video games have to do with the fucking Exorcist??
I just see video games sucking the ambition out of kids. They might as well be stoned.
My favorite kind of haiku are the science fiction ones. Some friends and I used to spend hours in high school coming up with them.
What about a little Haiku for gamers:
It begins
Sound, light.
I am entranced.
Achievements beckon.
A Stranger staff member arm wrestling with a Third Place Books-related individual...why does that sound familiar?
You're still mad about Vlad. Admit it.
