What are you reading?

Here's what I'm reading today. And you? What are you reading this weekend?

I always discover new writers by reading these anthologies. And I love Vivian Gornick’s taste. I’m bringing this to today’s noon reading party.

What are you reading on this last weekend of 2023?

Whether you’re attending the sold out brunch Silent Reading Party today at the Sorrento or joining the party virtually from home — or not attending the reading party at all — I’d love to know.

To be honest, I’ll be bringing several things to today’s reading party, and deciding between them once I get to the Sorrento.

How to attend today’s party virtually

If you’re not in Seattle — or if you are but don’t have a ticket for the Sorrento — you may still join us from your favorite reading chair home.

We broadcast the live reading party piano music over Zoom. If you are a paid subscriber here on substack, click here to find that Zoom link for your free entry.

If you are a free subscriber here, you will have to buy a virtual ticket to join us.

Upcoming parties now accepting reservations

These late-night parties in January & February are now on sale.

These brunch parties in January & February are also now on sale.

How to show our piano player some extra love

If you would like to thank our musician Paul for tonight’s set, you can find him on Venmo or Paypal. His Venmo is paulmatthew-moore (if you need them, the last four digits of his number are 9033). His Paypal can be found by searching for paulislove@yahoo.com.
