Are you reading?

Yesterday was the Kickoff of The Charleston County Big Read and what a day it was! Hot, hot, hot, but Anne Caldwell and The Magnolia Singers were wonderful and listening to Lucy Anne Hurston was a treat. We had an surprise visit from David Kipen, Director of Literature for the National Endowment for the Arts. What a trouper! He spoke, helped me carry boxes, and bought and proudly wore one our Big Read t-shirts (which you can buy, too for a measly $15. One of a kind, here.)
Tonight we are showing the film verion of Their Eyes Were Watching God and tomorrow, the Charleston Jazz Initiative is performing. Please come join us in these events. It's an incredible line-up, all free and all worth attended.
So, are you reading the book yet? What page are you on?
