Book It

The season of Shakespeare continues, as the Evergreen Museum & Library hosts the Baltimore Shakespeare company's Twelfth Night at 8 tonight. Guests are invited to explore the sculpture and view a surviving copy of the First Folio of Shakespeare from the John Work Garrett Library beforehand. The event is free.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, Dr. P.M. Forni will discuss and sign The Civility Solution, the book that launched a thousand bumper stickers. Word on the street says there's going to be a chocolatier with him at Johns Hopkins Charles Commons Conference Center.

 Also Saturday, Roger W. Marshall makes an appearance at Greetings & Readings at 1 p.m. to promote his debut book, Terror Within. The novel follows an act of accidental terrorism, the government's reaction and the affect it has on a group of unsuspecting strangers.

 Finally, the Lansdowne Library hosts Books and Bagels on Wednesday morning, for visitors to share breakfast and their thoughts on what they're reading.

For more information on these and many other events, see the Read Street calendar.

About the bloggers
While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
