Tonight Marisa and I sallied forth to the Free Library of Philadelphia to get our culture on. We saw two authors speak about their new books: Simon Winchester and Ian Frazier.
Both gentlemen were erudite and succeeded in making me want to read their new books (Atlantic
and Travels in Siberia
respectively) though I must admit I’m a little peeved that the Kindle version of Atlantic is only 12 cents cheaper than the hardcover (sometimes I think publishers don’t get eBooks… but that can’t be possible, can it?).
Now, I know what you non-Philadelphians and library haters are thinking, “How can I get all the benefits of these author events without all the hassle of living in Philadelphia or going to a commie library?” Simple!
