The Book to Watch Out For is one book forthe whole community should read this summer. If you see someone sitting on a bench, riding the bus or atthe library and reading this book, you can stop and say “Hey! Don’t you love the part…” Talk about the perfect way to start a conversation and make it past third base. On Wednesday June 17th, Borders in East Liberty will be hosting the book discussion of “Take Me Out” with well-known member of the arts and literary community Dan Iddings at 7:30pm. If you don’t have anything else to say to that gorgeous being reading that book on the park bench, you can invite them to The Curve Ball, a party in celebration of the play, then after the party, see the play together. The play will be an adaptation of the original screenplay for sale at any bookstore. So even if you read the book, you haven’t seen the play! Talk about one way to get everything you want, the perfect date, a great book and people to share the experience with. Truly a home run.
