WEDNESDAY:
What Al Gore has done for global climate change, Jeff Goodell is trying to do for coal consumption. The Rolling Stone and New York Times Magazine contributor is ready to scare the crap out of you as he reads from Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future at Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW. at 7 p.m.
THURSDAY:
Robert Sullivan went on a crazy road trip and all he got was this lousy, super long title for his new book: Cross Country : Fifteen Years and 90,000 Miles on the Roads and Interstates of America with Lewis and Clark, a lot of bad motels, a moving van, Emily Post, … kids, and enough coffee to kill an elephant. He’ll be at Olsson’s Books & Records in Dupont, at 7 p.m. Just don’t expect him to be brief.
The “Master manipulator” himself, John Dean, will discuss presidents who break the law in the interest of national security and why that’s not okay as he read from Conservatives Without Conscience at Olsson’s Penn Quarter location, 7 p.m. Something tells us he knows a bit about this topic.
SATURDAY:
Meet the Press’ moderator Tim Russert will be at Politics and Prose at 11 a.m.. to make brief remarks, sign a few copies of his new book, and fail to live up to his potential. Oh, and don’t forget make a mint off of letters other people wrote with Wisdom of Our Fathers.
