Better late than never, right? In a post-Halloween hangover, we missed the first week of November book events, but don't worry--there are plenty more to come in this month. Learn about beef (the kind you eat, not the dispute kind), the OED, and your up-and-coming Bruins; participate in a Twilight costume contest; and meet Wally Lamb or Annie Leibovitz in the fine month of November. And next weekend, the New England Crimebake comes to Dedham. What more could you ask for?
