Books / Nerd Reading Today: Geeks and Goths
Posted by Paul Constant on Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 10:05 AM
First, Ethan Gilsdorf reads from his new book about nerds, Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms.
Then, Jillian Venters reads from Gothic Charm School, a book based on a website that intends to teach people how to become goths. The author is local. There will also be a screening of a short film.
Elliott Bay is the place to be today, nerds.
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.

Jillian isn't teaching people how to become goths. She's teaching goths how to be classy and fun instead of whiny douchebags. I heartily endorse this mission.
