The National Press Club's book fair is tomorrow afternoon, where for $5 (or free, if you're a member) you can shmooze with over 80 authors from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The full list of authors includes Sen. Mel Martinez, Kerry Kennedy, and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Illustrator Wendell Minor will be there, too, as will celebrity chefs like Barbara Fairchild and José Andrés.

If you're looking to get your significant other's favorite author to sign something, you can head over after work, use it as a Christmahanukwanza present, and beat the holiday shopping rush.

You can download audio from other NPC book events here.

The National Press Club is located at 14th and F Streets, NW. (202) 662-7516
