Well… my brother took some initiative and went to a book event I didn’t even post about or know about for that matter, so big round of applause to him. You can read his book review here. Hopefully one day, somehow, people in Los Angeles will actually figure out that I’m doing this for them and not me and will flock to the events that I choose to promote.

- The Rza, yes that Rza, of the Wu-Tang Clan and now author, will be signing and talking about his book The Tau of Wuat the Barnes and Noble on Grove Drive. Now, it’s been awhile since I’ve listened to the Wu-Tang but thinking about the music sure brings back some great memories. From what I hear and understand seeing him live is awesome. I don’t know if I’ll read the book but the descriptions I’ve seen actually make it sound pretty good. Unlike books by most major recording artists. This book takes us from the slums to the mansions and covers the Rza’s life and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

- Jake Adelstein, journalist and author, will be signing copies of his book Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan at Skylight Books. Mr. Adelstein is the only American to ever have been admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police press club. While covering the underbelly of Tokyo it sounds as though Mr. Adelstein has seen his fair share of the dirt and grime that is organized crime in Japan. In the book he discusses the stories, the crimes and where it took him during the time he was there.

- Catherine Cardinal, author, will be signing copies of her book Men to Run From: So You Can Find the Right One to Run To at Book Soup. Yes ladies, this one is for you. Trust me, this not a book that is on my list nor will it ever be (actually, the more I think about it I could probably learn quite a bit from it, but no, I’ll still never read it). There wasn’t much going on in LA this week so I decided to throw this one in there. I mean, there is definitely some irony in me posting this that no one but I will understand right now but that’s ok. Oh yeah, so this book is apparently about how you lovely ladies can find the guys worth keeping (ahem) and the ones you should be passing on.
