Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 10:19 AM
Four readings tonight.
University Book Store hosts Tom Standage reading from An Edible History of Humanity, which is a book about how food has determined the entire course of human history, which is pretty depressing when you think about it.
Andrew Bacevich reads at Town Hall. He reads from The Limits of Power, a book about how America is running out of money and obsessed with military might. Perhaps the entire book isn't as obvious as its premise, but I heard Bacevich talk on NPR this morning and he went on a rant about how he's a free market conservative who wants to make sure that the smallest unit of society—the family—is protected and I decided that he's a dickhead. Avoid this reading.
The Castalia Reading Program, in which UW graduate students read their work aloud, is at the Hugo House tonight.
And there's a Subtext reading up at the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford. Lawrence, Kansas author Jim McCary has collected twenty years of poetry chapbooks with All That and Paul Nelson reads from his poetry collection A Time Before Slaughter. This is the reading of the night.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
