The first reading of the day is at noon, when Jamie Freveletti reads at Seattle Mystery Bookshop from Running From the Moon, a novel about a cosmetics biochemist in a South American jungle...and murder.

Up at Ballard Public Library, Janna Cawrse Esarey reads from her memoir about a honeymoon in a leaky sailboat, The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman’s Search for the Meaning of Wife.

There is yet another reading from The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists, this time at Third Place Books. Richard Bernstein reads from his book The East, the West, and Sex, which is about erogenous and geographic zones, at Elliott Bay Book Company.

Robert Frank reads at Town Hall tonight. The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide: Common Sense Principles for Troubled Times is a folksy look at a system that is not at all folksy. And the University Book Store hosts Larry Korn. Korn, who is no relation to the awful band of the same name, reads from his farming "manifesto," The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming. Either one of these could be the reading of the night.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.
