WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY -- IN THE CITY

Some good stuff going on this week...

=TODAY--WEDNESDAY, MAY 9=
BOOK READING: A LONG WAY GONE: MEMOIRS OF A BOY SOLDIER @ STUDIO MUSEUM HARLEM (125th St. b/w 7th & 8th Aves.)

Our Take: If you recognize this book, it's because they're selling it everywhere. This is an amazing story of Ishmael Beah's journey through childhood as a child soldier in Africa. Ishmael will be at the museum tonight for a reading and discussion. He'll sign books afterwards. It will fill up fast. Call ahead and/or get there early.
