Books Reading Tonight: From Oprah's Lips to Your Ears
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Garry Wills is at the Sorrento Hotel tonight, with booze and "a hearty stew." Wills is a major modern political thinker and historian. Ticketing for this event is closed online, which means you're out of luck tonight. Luckily, he's reading at Town Hall tomorrow night, too. At the University branch of the Seattle Public Library, Chris Bohjalian will be doing a reading. The Oprah-approved, book club-friendly author reads from his newest book, Secrets of Eden, which is about a Vermont couple that dies.
Ann B. Irish reads at Elliott Bay Book Company. Hokkaido is a "sourcebook" about the history and culture of a Japanese island. And Tara Weaver reads at University Book Store tonight, too. Butcher and Vegetarian is about how Weaver, who was raised vegetarian, fell off the wagon onto the meat truck.
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.
