Book It: Book Events April 6–11

ZOMG! Joss Whedon will be here on Friday! To win an award for cultural humanism! Uh, too bad it's sold out. Maybe you can stand outside straining to hear and hoping for a glimpse of Joss... or you could just wait for our writeup of the event. We might even liveblog it! We know you are holding your breath. We encourage you to breathe, and try some poetry with Robert Pinsky on Tuesday, or console yourself with Walter Mosley on Friday.
