TUESDAY
Tonight, political gadfly and Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington discusses On Becoming Fearless…in Love, Work, and Life. With her kind of money, we’d sleep better at night, too. Olssons Books & Records, 418 7th St. NW., at 12:30 p.m.

WEDNESDAY
Rahm Emanuel and Bruce Reed hold forth at Politics and Prose tonight, discussing The Plan, which we’re guessing is the long awaited word from Democratic lawmakers that they’ve finally had an idea, and not “The Plan” one often hears word of on the street. 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW. Wed., 7 p.m.

THURSDAY
Helene Grimaud is in town tonight to read from her book, Wild Harmonies: A Life of Music and Wolves. And if you can think of a better book about classical piano and building wolf sanctuaries, then we’d love to hear about it. Olsson’s Books & Records, 1307 19th St. NW., at 7 p.m.

FRIDAY
Kurt Muse is the only American civilian to be rescued by the Delta Force. And not the one from that silly Chuck Norris movie … no, the actual Delta Force. He’ll be discussing his book, Six Minutes to Freedom, at Barnes & Noble Booksellers Fairfax, Fair Lakes Promenade, 12193 Fair Lakes Promenade Drive, 7 p.m.

SUNDAY
Myra MacPherson serves up an unorthodox, warts-and-all biography of legendary journalist I. F. Stone in All Governments Lie!, which she’ll be discussing at Politics and Prose. 5 p.m.
