Virginia Festival of the Book

Charlottesville has one of those big festivals coming up that you probably know as the “Virginia Festival of the Book.” We like to think of it as more of a rave for smart people. It happens from March 26th to 30th, 2008.
Looking through the participants makes me realize that I am completely unaware of the 99% of the 250 participants. This only verifies what I already knew. I don’t read books.
Maybe you do and maybe this is a good opportunity for our cVillains to start their book club that was mentioned a while ago. Anyway, check out the festival and let us know what smart people should know.
Do you read anything?
Key headliners include:
Mike Farrell (MASH Actor)
Walter Mosley (wrote Devil in a Blue Dress)
Roger Mudd (Emmy winning journalist & anchor)
