Books Reading Today
Posted by Paul Constant on Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Elliott Bay Book Company hosts Joann Green Byrd. Her book Calamity: The Heppner Flood of 1903 documents a long-ago Washington state disaster. And not far away from Elliott Bay Book Company, at Revolution Books, Jerome Gold reads from his book Paranoia & Heartbreak: Fifteen Years in a Juvenile Facility .
Washington Rep. Jay Inslee, who sits on the Energy Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, reads from his book Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy at Town Hall this afternoon. Then, an hour later at the library, William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer will read. They are the authors of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope, and they will discusses wind-powered electricity. It's an alternative energy kind of day, I guess. We will call the Inslee reading the reading of the day.
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.
