MONDAY
>> Ray Suarez will discuss his book, The Old Neighborhood: What We Lost in the Great Suburban Migration. However, he’s doing his discussion at the Fairfax County Government Center, so you can bet there will be plenty of people there saying, “But…what about our awesome fleet of school buses?” 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia, at 7:30 p.m.
TUESDAY
>> Hey, faithful readers. Have you been enjoying the awesomely bad spectacle that is CBS’s Category 7? Well, if you’ve devoured network television’s latest overheated, Ed Woodian global disaster miniseries and still don’t feel sated, head to Borders to purchase Kim Stanley Robinson’s latest: Fifty Degrees Below. The author will be onhand to discuss and sign. Gina Gershon’s heaving bosom will have to be supplied by your imagination. 5871 Crossroads Center Way, Baileys Crossroads at 7:30 p.m.
WEDNESDAY
>> NPR’s Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson are better known as “The Kitchen Sisters,” and they hit the Arlington Olssons this Wednesday night to discuss and sign copies of their new book Hidden Kitchens—which is about food traditions and how cuisine unites communities, and, disappointingly not about meth labs at all. 2111 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, at 7 p.m.
