 GARY SHTEYNGART
Monday, June 2, 7:30 p.m.In his critically acclaimed
debut novel, GARY SHTEYNGART recounts the
adventures of Vladmir Girshkin—a Russian
Jewish immigrant, part P.T. Barnum and part V.I.
Lenin, the man who would conquer half of Europe (albeit
the wrong half). Shteyngart’s antic
narrative reflects on what it means to be both an
outsider and an insider in America as it moves
from the pierced, polyglot hipsters of Manhattan
to “the SoHo of Eastern Europe” in the
satiric The Russian
Debutante’s Handbook (Riverhead, $14.00).

DAN GLICK
Tuesday, June 3, 7:30 p.m.
In the wake of
divorce and his brother’s death, Colorado
author DAN GLICK embarked on single fatherhood in
an unusual way: he took his kids on a journey
around the world, to see some of the world’s
rare life forms before they disappeared. Monkey Dancing (PublicAffairs, $26.00)
weaves accounts of their encounters with the
natural world—and each other—with
intimate reflections on his own reckoning with
loss, change, and fatherhood, and illuminates the
parallels between our relationships with each
other, and those with the earth we inhabit.
Monkey Dancing
RICK REILLY
Wednesday, June 4, 7:30 p.m.
Over the course of
two years, award-winning writer RICK REILLY asked,
begged, cajoled, and finally convinced twelve pro
and amateur golfers to let him loop for them. Who’s Your Caddy? (Doubleday, $24.95) finds
the Sports Illustrated columnist inadvertently
kicking perfect lies into the rough,
spectacularly misreading greens, and jinxing
players with ill-timed commentaries. Written with
Reilly’s characteristic intelligence and wit,
this is an eye-opening and entertaining look at
the game of golf, in all its quirky glory.
Who’s Your Caddy?
PAMELA WHITE
Thursday, June 5, 7:30 p.m.
Award-winning
Boulder journalist PAMELA WHITE, perhaps best
known as the author of the Boulder Weekly column
“Uncensored”, will speak on the
feminist underpinnings of romance novels and
discuss her debut novel Sweet Release (Leisure, $5.99), an
historical romance published under the name
Pamela Clare. Set in 1730s Colonial Virginia, the
novel follows Alec, wrongfully condemned to
indentured servitude, and shockingly independent
Cassie, in need of labor for her plantation.
Sweet Release
TIM SANDLIN
Friday, June 6, 7:30 p.m.
Long a Boulder
Book Store favorite, TIM SANDLIN has earned a
cadre of loyal fans with his irreverent
observations on American culture. In his latest, Honey Don’t (Putnam, $24.95), nothing
is sacred or off-limits, from a President dying
in flagrante after tripping on his thong, an
aging Mafia Don appalled by modern manners, and a
certifiably stupid mafia bagman fleeing with
dirty money and the President’s head in a
carry-all, to the eponymous Honey, a free spirit
in full rebellion, whose offbeat take on life is
the heart and soul of this hilarious tale.
Honey Don’t
DAVID
WAGNER
Tuesday, June 10, 7:30 p.m.
“To be a
Daymaker,” DAVID WAGNER explains, “one
simply goes about life in a caring, compassionate
manner that uplifts others. A
‘Daymaker’ is a person who performs
intentional acts of kindness with the mindset of
making the world a better place.” Wagner
firmly believes that by making other
people’s happiness part of what makes us
happy, we can consciously begin to change the
world. Learn more about his philosophy in Life as a Daymaker (Jodere, $17.00)—and
let Wagner make your day with a free Aveda gift
bag.

TARA BRACH
Thursday, June 12, 7:30 p.m.
Radical acceptance
is not self-indulgence or resignation; rather,
when we stop being at war with ourselves, we are
free to live fully every moment of our lives. Radical Acceptance (Bantam Doubleday Dell, $23.95)
guides us to trust our innate goodness, showing
step-by-step how we can develop a balance of
clear-sightedness and compassion. Writing with

personal stories and fresh takes on Buddhist
tales.

GAYLE BRANDEIS
Monday, June 16, 7:30 p.m.
All her life, Ava
Sing Lo has been haunted by her propensity for
accidentally killing her mother’s beloved
pet birds, and by her mother’s past with

at the intersection of two cultures and races,
she seeks redemption and new vistas as a
volunteer helping to save birds that have been
poisoned by agricultural runoff at the Salton Sea.
Winner of Barbara Kingsolver’s Bellwether

The Book of Dead Birds
KATHLEEN CRANE
Tuesday, June 17, 7:30 p.m.
KATHLEEN CRANE was
one of the first women oceanographers out of the
world-renowned Scripps Institution of
Oceanography. By turns personal and objective, Sea Legs (Westview, $27.50) tells
how Crane’s quest for freedom led her to the
sea and her research of deep-sea underwater
volcanoes, despite the many struggles. From
Galapagos dives in the Alvin and the early
searches for Titanic, to many of the first
scientific expeditions of the Arctic, Crane
offers a compelling and exclusive first-hand
account as a pioneer for women in oceanography.

Wednesday, June 18, 7:30 p.m.

emotions, and renewing the spirit. The goal of

CHRISTOPHER MOORE
Thursday, June 19, 7:30 p.m.
Haunting and
mysterious, the meaning of humpback whale songs
is inscrutable—even to Nathan and Clay,
researchers who analyze and try to interpret the
songs. But Nate’s been doing this for so
long he might be losing it—or is one of the
whales trying to say “Bite Me”? Nate
and Clay quickly find themselves embroiled with
age-old conspiracies and a highly evolved super-race
with a penchant for baked goods in Fluke (William Morrow, $23.95)—the
rollicking latest from CHRISTOPHER MOORE, author
of last year’s hilarious Lamb.

to the dharma hall, a confused young man who,
bottoming out on drugs and dissatisfaction,
searches for clarity in Dharma Punx (HarperSanFrancisco, $23.95).

service, and genuine spiritual growth.
