Books Reading Today

890f/1237568503-1554470447_b.jpg Three events today.

At Seattle Mystery Bookshop, Caitlin Kittredge reads from Second Skin, which is about someone hunting someone who's hunting werewolves.

Funny you should mention werewolves, because at the Library at 4 pm today, a bunch of kids will get together and determine, "once and for all," which one is better: Harry Potter or Twilight. They will not fight with their fists, but instead using the age-old method of debate. More information here.

And at Elliott Bay Book Company, Robert Bringhurst & Jan Zwicky read. Zwicky wrote The Tree of Meaning: Language, Mind and Ecology. Bringhurst wrote Everywhere Being is Dancing: Twenty Pieces of Thinking. I can't speak to Zwicky, but Bringhurt's Dancing is nothing less than splendid. If you like really beautifully written essays on arts and culture, this is the thing for you. This is the reading of the night.

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

I'm pretty sure those nerds are going to devolve into using the older method of slapping and clawing at each other.

Nerds are as nerds do... the important thing about denial and bait-twists are the interesting point of tension.

Consider the fine art of fly fishing.

In day by day a life of stolen moments.....
clinton heylin in a book about dylan writes on page 288,

"Again Dylan performs several songs not previously played on the Dylan/Dead tour".

If, and mind you that's a big if, I were to open a "periphial mis-dialectic" lawsuit and try to tackle the center of the universe... you might find Patrick's Fly Fishing Shop on Eastlake Avenue unduly effected by some mysterious viral attack that is from a future line in a movie script.

If an the other hand, and of course the other hand is curiously " ambidextrious ", I am sovereign and wildly anesthetic at the same time,

( Random House Dictionary Unabridged Second Edition page 1826 includes the small case word "souter on the same spell check manuel as sovereign... it's just a little "SLOWER" )

we might have another example of why the scribes and "phrase-esseeeeeeens" have once questioned spanish descent in the blood-lines of generational inspiration and truth in ambition are now marketing online research as truth before testing is through on "KIENEKER VS. THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT".

All Hail to the seek !

After all... the "scriptures" say that out of dust you came... and into dust you will return.
