There's a lot going on tonight including an author named Brando Skyhorse who read last night, a sci-fi novel, a book about "The Contentious Magazine that Transformed the Jewish Left into the Neoconservative Right," and much more.

Clay Shirky is at Town Hall today. Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age is a book about how there's too much thinkin' goin' on around here.

The reading of the night, I think, is Michael Largo. God's Lunatics: Lost Souls, False Prophets, Martyred Saints, Murderous Cults, Demonic Nuns, and Other Victims of Man's Eternal Search for the Divine is a reading about how people do some crazy-ass shit in the name of God. The best part is that Largo is reading at University Temple Methodist Church.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
