Vroman's Bookstore blog report on my reading there

January 12, 2008

On lovely Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena

Thanks, Vroman’s, for hosting my reading on January 10 in Pasadena. Here’s what the bookstore’s blog had to say about the event.

“Last night I stuck around to hear Dan Koeppel read from his new book Bananas: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World. Food writing like this — deeply focused and researched writing on a single subject, moving from the micro to the macro — has really taken over the publishing world in the past few years. Mark Kurlanksy (Salt, Cod) has made a cottage industry of it, and Michael Pollan’s fabulous The Omnivore’s Dilemma (a book with a slightly broader scope) continues to appear on Vroman’s bestseller list on a weekly basis.”

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.
