Thank you San Francisco, thank you for helping to make this past week better than the one prior to it. I’m not really going to give you, the city, too much credit but I will certainly give you some.

I think this past week wasn’t so bad because nothing really happened, or should I say nothing really changed. Of course getting away for a night wasn’t so bad either. And the fact that they took the dehumidifiers out of my apartment didn’t hurt, although my apartment is still a disaster zone. These things happen though.

So, let’s cut to the chase and see what’s going on this week in book events.

Tuesday, February 2nd
@ 7pm
- Michael Chabon, author, will be appearing at the Book Passage store in Corte Madera as part of One Book One Marin. One Book One Marin is intended “to provide readers with a shared reading experience that leads to open dialogue.” This year they’ve selected Chabon’s The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay as their selection. If you haven’t already this book I think there may be something wrong with you, to put it simply, it’s awesome. It would be well worth seeing Mr. Chabon talk about it.

Update:

Wednesday February 3rd
@ 7pm
- Chris Cleeve, author, will be appearing and talking about his book Little Bee at the JCCSF in conjunction with Books, Inc. Tickets are still available (I believe) on the JCCSF website. Cleeve, a British journalist who writes about the plight of refugees, has come a long way since the release of his book so do him a favor and go see him, I am sure he’d appreciate it.

Yay! So much not happening this week, pretty disappointing. Go to Los Angeles if you want some real events, gosh SF, way to let me down.
