This week in the literary world approaches Independence Day with lack of convention, substituting red, white, and blue for a personal shade of green, and focusing on Hollywood yet again as the center of the universe.
Open Mic Poetry | Friday, July 4, 2008 | 8:00 pm | Barnes & Noble - Map | A poetry reading is probably the last place you’d think spend the Fourth of July. However, if you’re like me and can go without the sometimes alarming sound of exploding fireworks, perhaps it would make do to have few choice words tickle your ears instead. For more info, call (818) 558-1383.
Book Discussion | Sunday, July 6, 2008 | 4: 00 pm | Vroman’s Bookstore - Map | You’ve been carpooling, riding your bicycle, and using only the lights that you need after the day’s peak hours - kudos, friend; green looks spectacular on you. For further inspiration on what else can be done for our ailing planet, Stephen and Rebekah Hren will be discussing their new book The Carbon-Free Home: 36 Remodeling Projects to Help Kick the Fossil-Fuel Habit, which explores the integration of renewable resources for household can’t-do-withouts - such as hot water, refrigeration, and electricity. For more info, call (626) 449-4320.
Book Signing | Tuesday, July 8, 2008 | 7:00 pm | Book Soup - Map | Seth Greenland signs and discusses his new book, Shining City, a dissection of modern American culture and how it shapes and influences everything from morals and ideals, to preferences on every imaginable level - in amusing, satirical undertones. For more info, call (310) 659-3110.
