Jack Nisbet reads at the Seattle Public Library today. The Collector is a biography of one of the first botanists to study the Pacific Northwest. He is a man "for whom the Douglas Fir was named."

And Open Books is hosting Tod Marshall and Rod Slate this afternoon. Tod and Rod* will read from The Tangled Line and The Great Wave, respectively. Both are on their second collection of poetry. Marshall is from Spokane.

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.

* Poetry!

Was it Douglas who got mauled to death in a pit of wild boars? Or was that Menziis? Pretty gory.
