Jonathan Lethem
THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
From National Book Critics Circle Award-winner Jonathan Lethem, comes a daring, riotous, sweeping novel that spins the tale of two friends from a Brooklyn neighborhood, a black boy and a white boy, and their adventures in late 20th-century America. THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE is the story of what would happen if two teenaged boys obsessed with comic book heroes actually had superpowers.

Gregory Maguire
MIRROR MIRROR
A Stacey's favorite, and bestselling author of WICKED: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST, Gregory Maguire, brings us a reimagining of the story of Snow White. MIRROR MIRROR is set in Renaissance Italy where a farm girl named Bianca de Nevada catches the interest of the ruthless Borgia family. In the tradition of his earlier novels, Gregory Maguire brings fresh eyes to a beloved classic tale.
(OK, so this next one is pricey)

JAMIE'S KITCHEN
England's "Naked Chef," Jamie Oliver, didn't earn his sobriquet baring the family jewels.

Star of his own wildly popular Food Network show, Oliver teaches us that good cooking can be quick, tasty, and unpretentious. Please note: This event will take place at One Market, 1 Market Street @ Steuart. Admission is $45 for members, $60 for non-members. Registration begins at 11:30 am. For reservations and more information, please call 415-597-6705.
