Came across this sterling twist on the book club. It’s not a “club” at all but instead a series of visiting lectures by top authors. Apparently a cadre of writers like Tim O’Brien and a few others are going to regale the suburban demimonde’ with great literature, good munchies and a smattering of gossip. More Jack K. than Jackie Collins. Hopefully this concept will get traction before Harpo hears about it. We can’t find a url but our readers will be the first to know. (possibly: www.clubbook.org)

Hey man, who you callin’ suburban? Readers in the inner-city ‘hoods of Saint Paul love their authors as much as the demimonde in the second- and third-ring suburbs. Witness the soon-to-be-sold-out Minnesota Book Awards, coming up April 17.
Such passion, such fight, such fire, such grace.
Pray how may we keep pace?
