Book It: Book Events This Week

Get your think on this week with readings about sex, war, and politics. A couple of big names come to town to discuss these big concepts. Cokie Roberts will talk about ladies of liberty on Wednesday and Howard Zinn presents a graphic adaptation of People's History at the Brattle on Thursday. The Zinn event is sold out, sadly, but maybe you can flash your red star tattoos to gain admittance?
