Got plans this weekend? How about we destroy cancer.

You all may remember my review of Skin Deep, an Eight-Stone Press zine. In its introduction, editor William P. Tandy shared the story of his tattoo, which is also his story as a cancer survivor.

On Sunday, Tandy will participate in the Susan G. Komen Maryland Race for the Cure. I know there are many people who have had their lives changed forever by this disease, and at times like these, there's something we can actually do about it.

If you're so inclined, send a donation along. And if you're already involved in this rewarding event, leave a comment, tell us your story and maybe we'll see you this weekend.\

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.
