Book It

Just because class is back in session, it doesn't mean you can't have fun on a school night.

Head to the Havre de Grace library tonight for a literary potluck. Bring your friends and your favorite book at 6:30. And be prepared to share!

Tomorrow night, Constellation Books hosts its Wine and Song at the bookstore, featuring music by folk musician Steve Haug, and wine from Vino 100. And owner Lauretta Nagel assured me that they always provide a few snacks, as well.

Saturday morning from 10 to 1, Ukazoo Books rewards early risers with bagels, coffee and tea at their monthly Books 'n' Brunch. It's free brunch and conversation for all.

If you're in Annapolis on Sunday, the First Sunday Arts Festival exhibitors include Bobbie Hinman, author of The Knot Fairy, and Cynthia Polansky, author of Remote Control -- and who can say no to a festival?

On Wednesday, come to the central branch of the Enoch Pratt library to celebrate its founder's birthday bicentennial. Mayor Sheila Dixon and Library Director Carla Hayden join in the fun, and parties will also be held at the Canton, Light Street and Waverly branches throughout the day. For more information, call 410-545-3115 or go to www.prattlibrary.org.

As we said, bookish events are heating up in the area, so visit the Read Street calendar for even more options.

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.
