Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Three good-looking readings tonight.
At University Book Store, Lance Reynald reads from his new novel, Pop Salvation, in which a high schooler tries to become the next Andy Warhol. This looks like a pleasant-enough light read—probably perfect for summer, especially if you like high school drama.
Up in Wallingford, it's time for another Subtext Reading. I'm pretty sure that Subtext is now Seattle's longest-running serious literary series. If you're into intelligent poetry, this is your thing. The readers tonight are Stacy Szymaszek and Don Mee Choi.
And over at Elliott Bay Book Company, Kate Christensen reads from Trouble, a novel that "explores the sexual lives of three women in their 40s." Which sounds kind of Sex and the City-ish, but Christensen is a wonderful novelist (her last book, The Great Man, was a powerful book about an egotistical painter as viewed through the women in his life, and you should read it) and this will be worth your time. This is 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.

Isn't Wallingford lower in elevation than Capitol Hill and wouldn't one say perchance "to the West in Wallingford" or maybe "in a westerly Wallingford direction" ...
