I was digging through some thrift shops looking for my little unemployed person’s version of Donald Trump’s “great deal” when I came across a copy of White Crosses by Larry Watson. Not only has he published several good books, but he also taught yours truly when he was a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. He’s a nice guy, good teacher, and a good author.
I’ve also learned that Barnes and Noble has author readings and book signings all the time. Tomorrow I’m going to see Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game. You can read the first three chapters of his new book, Shadow of the Giant, online and I can say this one looks like a good one.
On March 10th I might go see Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird, which I absolutely love. I’m still up in the air about this one though ’cause I think she’s kinda wierd and I find her fiction a little dry.
But I absolutely have to go see Moby on the 22nd because hey, it’s Moby. His music was popular for a few years, but it’s also in like every other television commercial whether you knew it or not. He’s promoting his cafe teany, which is on 90 Rivington St. I’m sure there’s a book involved here somewhere.
