MONDAY:
>> Drugs Are Nice, according to Lisa Crystal Carver, who pens the trials and travails of being a member of the band Suckdog and the attendant forays into 90’s alt culture that she experienced and distilled into this “post-punk memoir.” We’re guessing that what’s even nicer is the $8 cover for the discussion at the Warehouse Next Door tonight. 8:30 p.m.

>> Margaret Cho has vowed, I Have Chosen to Stay And Fight, but she’ll be visiting the ideologically supportive territory of Arlington this evening as she reads from and signs copies of her book. Olsson’s Books & Records, 2111 Wilson Blvd., at 7 p.m.

TUESDAY:
>> We missed mentioning Chris Mooney when he made his first rounds of the D.C. area promoting his new book, The Republican War on Science, but locals will have another chance to hear his take on the neo-Lysenkoist tendencies of the current administration. Barnes & Noble, 555 12th St. NW., at 6:30 p.m.

WEDNESDAY:
>> Kalim Aftab’s oral history of Spike Lee, titled Spike Lee: That’s My Story and I’m Sticking To It, has thus far been met with scant praise. Maybe that’s why they’re sending the title character on the book tour. He’ll be arriving at Politics and Prose, perhaps even entering on a long tracking shot in which he appears to be floating. He loves that shot. 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW. Wed., at 1 p.m.
