Books Reading Today: Ballerinas and Warships

Posted by Paul Constant on Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 10:01 AM

We have an open mic and two readings today.

Elliott Bay Book Company is hosting a discussion with ballet people about PNB's current show, Sleeping Beauty. And then at Seattle Public Library, Lorraine McConaghy gives an "illustrated presentation," which I believe is clumsy-speak for "a slideshow,"about the book Warship Under Sail.

If you're into ballerinas, you'll probably want to go to the former. If you're into warships, you'd probably prefer the latter. Just sayin'.

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.

Wow, you're a jackass.

Yes Paul, please try to refrain from making your writing personalized or interesting in any way. It apparently makes us uncomfortable.
