Two More Book Events

I really don't take advantage of what the city has to offer but have my moments. Strand Bookstore again provided an author appearance (this time with the added value of former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards) for a $15 gift card or the book ($25). Not sure Amber Tamblyn's feminist manifesto is worth reading, but appreciated the opportunity. The NYU panel on a criminal justice book (with the author, activist Shaun King and a professor) was better. Not only was it free, but they had a free lunch (choice of sandwich [hummus for me] with cookie, chips and water/soda). Plus, doggies at a local dog park.

And Also: Nice this was public again but the usual b.s. on the "problems" of cameras and no, Justice Kagan, you don't explain all your decisions. Questioning seemed a bit brief given the opportunity. Let's see how the being considered ethics rule goes.
