Get ready for Texas Book Festival
The Texas Book Festival is scheduled for Nov. 3 and 4 and will feature hundreds of authors and thousands of books.
This is a great place to find local authors or authors of the Southwest. Author Sherman Alexie plans to be there on Saturday. His new book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian has been well received as his first young adult novel telling a coming-of-age story in the context of culture. I loved Alexie's Indian Killer, which shows cultural attacks of Native American culture through the mystery. Readers try to figure out who's making the attacks and killing the Indians. In the end, we might have to ask if it's us. 2 comments from 2 users

I love the book festival! I have tried to go every year since I moved to Texas. I have seen some pretty amazing authors, including Amy Tan, Salmon Rushdie, Lemony Snickett and Margaret Weis. I cannot wait for this year! BTW, the festival is always held on Congress right in front of the Capitol building. Some of the programs are actually held in near by theatres and even in the Capitol building. posted by
