I’m still struggling to find events in the Los Angeles region so, again, if anyone out there has suggestions of where I should be looking let me know. Of course, I did manage to find a few readings you should be at this week. Hopefully one of these days I’ll make it down to LA again and be able to visit some of the stores that I haven’t been to and maybe even go to a couple of events.
Tuesday, September 15th
@ 730pm
- Paul Krassner, author of Who’s to Say What’s Obscene?: Politics, Culture and Comedy in America Todaywill be at Skylight Books. One of my first experiences with writing my book events posts involved Mr. Krassner and an appearance which I thought he was making here in San Francisco. I was sorely mistaken and was off by a month or so (if I remember correctly). Anyhow, I highly recommend going and seeing Mr. Krassner and also checking out a pretty cool bookstore while you’re at it. A big name in the counterculture movement Mr. Krassner is surely not going to disappoint.
Thursday, September 17th
@ 7pm
- AJ Jacobs, author of The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment will be discussing and signing his book at Vromans. Following up on two of his other books The Know-it-All and The Year of Living Biblically (both of which look pretty interesting) Mr. Jacobs writes in his latest book about a year of his personal experiments. He experiments with cross dressing, outsourcing his life to India and other apparently laugh out loud experiences. Check it out and his other works if foolish acts and humor intrigue you!
Thursday, September 17th
@ 930pm
- David Cross, comedian turned author will be discussing and signing his book I Drink For a Reason at Book Soup. You know Mr. Cross from “Mr. Show,” “Arrested Development,” and his stand-up gigs and now is the time to see him discuss his book. A collection of essays, sarcastic and satirical fiction, advice and other comedic writings, Cross delivers humor and fun in his first book, or so they say.
Well, that’s it for now. Enjoy the week!
