Subway Read: To Do
Any time a spelling bee is accompanied by copious amounts of alcohol, well, it's got to be more fun. Join Pete's Candy Store tonight and kick off their every-other-Monday orthographic love-fest. Sign-up's at 7 p.m., and the letters start flying around 7:30, so nab a spot early.
Tonight's event is a $20 suggested donation to support leukemia research. Your donation is 100 percent tax-deductible and goes straight to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In return, you get a raffle ticket and a chance at prizes such as Broadway tickets, a gym membership, gift certificates, etc. Oh, and the best prize of all? -- a bar tab at Pete's.
Thanks to nonsensenyc for the details! The full Subway Reads after the jump:
by James Joyce
by Ayn Rand

ayn rand is such crap. i'm embarrassed for all humanity that her works are still in print and continue to enjoy a modicum of popularity. i know she claimed there was some fundamental difference between her protagonists and nietzschean supermen, but honestly, i could never see it.
p.s. how do you find the time to be so incredibly hip and also well read?
heh, well you know i don't actually read these books ... just spy on others on the F train. i find this frees up much-needed brain space for Law & Order episodes. (though i have to disagree and say that The Fountainhead is a terrific book--even if the sympathy one feels with the protagonist is problematic.)
