Book It: November Book Events
November’s not quite as packed with book events as October was, but some big names are still coming to town. The list includes Al Gore and David Plouffe, as well as Jonathan Safran Foer, Corey Doctorow (of BoingBoing ) and John Krasinksi, who’s adapted David Foster Wallace’s Brief Interviews with Hideous Men for the screen. Harvard Book Store is also hosting a special sale for “frequent buyers,” though you must sign up for the club before November 8 to qualify.
