Hello Everybody, Saturday, November 11th, Don Orlich will be here from 11:00-1:00. He will sign and discuss his book, "School Reform: the Great American Brain Robbery," which is an indictment of public education that draws upon 50 years in that field.

Wednesday, November 15th, the Moscow Community Creative Writing Workshop will read in the store at 7:00 PM. Works will include original fiction, nonfiction, and poetry by the 2006 MCCWW. Come support our local writers!

Thursday, November 16th, Ann Pancake will read as a part of WSU's Visiting Writer series. She writes fiction and nonfiction, and "Given Ground" won a Bakeless award. Beat Hollywood to the good stuff: Philip Pullman's young adult trilogy, "His Dark Materials," is a wonderfully written fantasy that roughly parallels "Paradise Lost" and has been lauded as the successor to Lord of the Rings. The trilogy--The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass--is approachable for a young reader and complex enough to withstand analysis in academic circles.

A movie starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, and Dakota Blue Richards is slated to appear in 2007. Beat the hype and read! Cheers, BookPeople
