Books Reading Tonight: Fighting Racists, and a Fresh Look at Goethe
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 10:22 AM
If you're downtown and you eat lunch, the Seattle Public Library is hosting another edition of Thrilling Tales: A Story Time for Adults. The story today is "Hunters in the Snow" by Tobias Wolff.
Tony Angell reads at Third Place Books tonight. Angell is the author of Puget Sound Through an Artist's Eye. He is a local author who is reading everywhere for his book. If you haven't seen him yet and you can't make it out to Third Place Books tonight, he's reading again next week.
Town Hall is hosting a cookbook reading. Ellie Krieger reads from So Easy: Luscious, Healthy Meals for Every Day of the Week. Krieger is a celebrity chef. Do with that what you will.
Gordon L. Miller is at Elliott Bay Book Company tonight. He's showing his photographs for a new translations of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's The Metamorphosis of Plants.
Miller's reading looks good, but the reading of the night tonight is Christopher S. Parker's reading at University Book Store. Fighting for Democracy: Black Veterans and the Struggle Against White Supremacy in the Postwar South is about how black veterans had to take up arms against racist idiots twice—once abroad, and once at home.
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.
