Thurber House recently announced its cold weather Evenings with Authors schedule. Over the next five months, they'll host six nationally-known authors for readings around Columbus:
- January 14: Sue Miller, author of The Senators Wife, at the Columbus School for Girls
- January 23: Merrill Markoe, author of Walking in Circles Before Lying Down, at the Columbus Museum of Art
- February 10: Henry Alford, author of How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People, at the Columbus Performing Arts Center
- March 11: Meg Wolitzer, author of The Ten-Year Nap, at the Columbus School for Girls
- April 28: Terri Cheney, author of Manic, at the Columbus Museum of Art
- May 15: Tony Horwitz, author of a Voyage Long and Strange at the Columbus School for Girls
If you've never attended one of these events, no worries - they're very accessible, not overly intellectual or, frankly, snobby. And, brilliantly, they're all at locations with parking.
Who to take: Your book club, your best friend, your sister
What to expect:
- Tickets are $18-$20
- Most events start at 7:30 (so you can actually get there from work, unlike those blasted 6PM yoga sessions offered at nearly every studio around town)
- The authors read from their latest or most popular work
- Then they talk a little bit about what its like to make a career of writing
- There's usually some Q&A
- And, then you get cookies and coffee and mill around for a bit before making a break for martinis with the girls
