While San Francisco is lucky enough to have one it’s most favored local authors speak this week I am unsure of what is in store for you Los Angeles. You can only hope to be so lucky.
Naturally, you are not.

- Kevin Sampsell, author, will be discussing his memoir A Common Pornography at Skylight Books. I don’t know much about Mr. Sampsell but he’s got quite the resume. Having written for Mcsweeney’s and having published stories, essays and two other books I think this could be a rather interesting discussion. From what I understand it’s been written in a very unique and different sort of way, a sort of stream of consciousness. I think I’ve seen this book on the shelf and looked passed it but now I will be more inclined to pick it up and investigate a bit more.

- Melissa Rivers, apparent author and celebrity by association, will be signing copies of her book Red Carpet Ready: Secrets for Making the Most of Any Moment You’re in the Spotlight at Barnes and Noble at the Grove. I don’t really care what the book is about, I’m not going to lie, I just know people out there always like seeing some sort of celebrity, even if they are a D lister. So… here’s your chance.
