Reminder: Seattle author Neal Stephenson will be at the University Bookstore on Tuesday 21st at 7:30, and Borders in Redmond on Wednesday at 7:00 to discuss and sign his new book The System of the World: Volume Three of the Baroque Cycle. Since the university bookstore seems to be charging $5 if you don’t buy anything, that might make the Redmond Borders a better deal. On the other hand, if you can pre-order a ticket (they’ve been selling since Sep 1), it means you’re definitely assured of being allowed in, thus making the trip worthwhile.
Neal Stephenson also writes as Stephen Bury, by the way, so here might be your chance to get two different signatures out of the same guy.
