aww. wish i could be there. im on holiday right now in malaysia (im from the uk) and i wanted to buy Alaska and i went into a book shop and i found this: http://www.mph.com.my/search/nsearch.cfm?do=detail&pcode=0007209258 what is that?
If you walk into the library, there will be a lot of big signs and stuff, and a lot of librarians to help you go where you're going. But it will be in what they call "the multipurpose room." -John
I wish I could be there ... but I can't. Have fun at The Bean for me (I LOVE The Bean)and take lots of video. The only thing that comes close to being there is seeing how much fun others had being there.
Hey, have you ever read "The Stolen Child" by Keith Donahue? It's one of my favourite books ever. Not saying it's the best, but I love it and re-read it about a dozen times.
great video! Though I was a little disappointed because I was so looking forward to critical analysis of Catcher in the Rye. You are still going to make that video, right????
This is an entirely off the topic question. But maybe you could include it in your next Question Tuesday. Where should I preorder my copy of "Papertowns" from? I just canceled my preorder at Amazon because I don't want to wait a week or two for them to ship it out. I'd rather go to an indie bookstore in my area, but the nearest one is not so near. thoughts?
According to a reply I got 2 seconds after I sent my pre-registration, the event is already full! Sad pandas. Perhaps I'll try to ninja myself in somehow. But I'm excited this is happening!
John: Your Chi-town event is full/sold out, according to the CPL Web site. I really want to go, and even pulled some strings to schedule my lunch break around it on Friday (I work in the Loop). Any chance you can convince the library to move it to a bigger room? Please?

ReplyDeleteThat is the UK edition of "Looking for Alaska."
ReplyDeleteSo, the Harold Washington library is an awfully large library. You have a floor # or anything like that yet?

ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there. Have a great time, and I hope to see a lot of video from you and your super special guest ;)

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome experience... I guess all that talking into a camera stuff is starting to come in handy.

ReplyDeleteBokonon, it'll be in Multipurpose Rooms A&B, and they're on the lower level.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!

ReplyDeleteThat must have been SO exiting when you knew he was going to read your book!
I'm trying my hardest to go.. Some of my friends at Terminus don't like skipping programming and nerdfighters ):
