My whole family, sans moi, was in Los Angeles (or the area) this past weekend for my big brothers first 100-mile race. Yes, 100 miles of running. He’s a nut. That said, he kicked some major ass finishing in 8th place over all and completing the run in less than 24 hours. One hell of a feat if you ask me. I’m pretty bummed that I wasn’t there but I kind of know the drill with these races now. I’ve seen him compete twice and honestly, it’s a lot of waiting around. Regardless, I wish I could have been there to support him and hang out with my family. Next time.

So, where does that leave me. Well, I’m not sure. But I guess what that means is that i’m due for a trip to Los Angeles sooner or later to see him and the rest of my family. One of these days.

Now, on to the point of this delicious post.

- Mr. Marcus, author and porn star, will be at Book Soup discussing and signing copies of his book Porn Star Guide to Great Sex. Hmm, I’m pretty sure that I don’t need to say much about what this book is all about. I’m going to leave it at that.

Wednesday, September 1st

- Rick Moody, author, will be signing copies of his book The Four Fingers of Death at Skylight Books. I’ve been seeing copies of this book everywhere so there must be something to it right? The cover looks intriguing and although I have yet to pick a copy up and read the sleeve it looks as though it could be a good one. Set in the not too distant future this book is essentially a book about the novelization of a 1963 horror flick. While my little summary here does pretty much no good at all, I would recommend reading the sleeve and taking it from there. At least, that’s what I plan on doing.

It looks as though that since my brother is in recovery mode this week so are the authors for whatever reason they may have. That’s all I got for you this week, let’s all hope that more events pop up next week.
