Book It: Book Events This Week

There are no actual author events this week that we could find, but Garrison freakin' Keillor is here Monday, the Harvard Book Store's Philosophy Cafe gets together Wednesday, and a new Poe exhibit opens at the BPL on Thursday. And that's it for 2009, it seems. Congratulations, Christmas, for derailing everything! We hope you all get the books (or ebooks) you wanted this year.
