A few years ago, the Seattle Public Library started a deal called something like What If Everybody in Seattle Read... [fill-in-the-blank]. The idea was to generate a community literary experience by having lots of people read and discuss one author's work (or works) at the same time - sort of a giant book group. Although they have shortened the name to Seattle Reads, they do it every year. This year, the book they are reading is a graphic novel: Marjan Satrapi's Persepolis, and thanks to the kind offices of JJ, I will be participating in one of the events:
Persepolis Read-in/Readers' Theater
2 p.m. Saturday, March 11
The Seattle Public Library
Fremont Community Library
731 N. 35th St., Seattle
Here's the main page for Seattle Reads.
