so this is a bookstore and a coffee shop. Mcnally Jackson is on the corner of Prince and Mulberry, i was told of this place by a guy who is working on a noble project - www.trialx.com he shared a table with me and my new found friend Becky (at the Housing Works).these guys at the Cafe make my love for macchiato stronger than ever like a double shot espresso - straight to the veins! this place has got it all you can ask for a third place and if I may quote my self on this - I am engaged to this bookstore.
--- the book reading:
- it's hard to recall now as to when was the last time i have gone to a book reading
- no. wait a minute. it was last year at Bryant park's The Reading room
- the crowd had its loudest cheers for a post pubescent looking comedy writer - creepers
- the book reading starts, i stared at the ceiling the whole time on the first reading
- the second time the hanging light bulb.
- someone asked if what it was like to translate a book for a dead author and the living one.
- it's better to translate for a dead author.
- what's it like to be from Kansas and a Jew?
- and if i may quote: "Before you, this cocaine is just like staring at the ceiling" -an excerpt from one of the books
- well, Mcnally Jackson, before you, reading was just like staring at the ceiling. (shrugs)
