Things to Do, People to See

As you all know, I have no problem recommending books by my friends, or readings that involve those books, so you might want to check out Phil Campbell as he reads from Zioncheck for President tonight at KGB. The only reason I'm not going to be there cheering him on in person is that we've got a joint book party coming up in early November--plus you'll undoubtedly be seeing him around these parts soon. You can already catch him at Maud Newton's site.

Also tonight: Paul Berman isn't a friend (because I haven't met him), but he's a great political writer, and he'll be reading at one of my favorite bookstores in New York City, BookCourt of Brooklyn Heights. And Rebecca Godfrey will be at another nifty little place, SoHo's McNally Robinson; I just got a copy of her true crime story, Under the Bridge, and Mrs. Beatrice already called dibs.
