A quickie
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey gang, I’m going to keep this short today for reasons explained later.
First, here is your round-up of who’s talking and signing:
Amy Sedaris. 7:30 tonight (Sept. 28) at the Decatur Rec Center, 231 Sycamore St., Decatur. This will be hoppin’. Sedaris (yes, David’s sister) got her first wave of recognition as an actress, mainly for “Strangers With Candy,” projecting a persona that is truly unique. She was also seen recently, and too briefly, as an offbeat character on “Rescue Me” getting groped by Dennis Leary. (!) But here, she’s signing her book “I Like You.” Don’t be surprised if there is a crowd; folks love Amy. The line starts forming at 6. Sponsored by Wordsmith Books.
Christopher Moore.” 7:45 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 29) at Wordsmith Books in Decatur. Author of the recent best-seller “You Suck” and the Christmas classic “The Stupidest Angel,” Moore is one of the funniest novelists working today, and to some he has no peer. Certainly not when it comes to dysfunctional vampire sex, anyway. I would love to go out for a drink with him, but at the same time, I’d keep an eye on him.
Tim Green. Green played for the Falcons from 1986-‘93, and then became a lawyer and best-selling author. He’s mainly been known for suspense novels, but his latest, “Football Genius,” is a novel for kids. He’ll be at Little Shop of Stories in Decatur at 4 p.m. Saturday to talk and sign. Then on Monday morning he’s heading to Drew Charter Elementary School in East Lake and giving away 200 books. But that’s only for kids who attend.
Coming up: Next week is Banned Book Week. I’d like to have more than one blog about it since it’s so important. Does anyone have any specific topics they’d like to suggest? (Save your overall comments and rants for next week.)
Finally, the reason I’m rushing is that today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. I’m supposed to be on another blog, providing answers to the stupid questions readers send in. No, I have no idea how that is going to work. But come visit anyway.Here is the link..
