SUMMARY:Literary Mavens Share Ideas for Summer Reading at Happy Dog Forum
DESCRIPTION:\nWed 5/6 @ 7:30PM\nDo you make a summer reading list? That has
 n’t been a thing for me since I was in college. I prefer to spend my sum
 mers doing stuff and if I took reading material to the beach\, it was usua
 lly a fashion magazine that could double as a face coverup to block the su
 n. (Didn’t those magazine tell you that tanning your face causes wrinkle
 s? It’s true!) So I have a winter reading list where I curl up on the so
 fa with a blanket\, a cat or two\, a cup of hot tea and a good book about 
 Chicago\, nothing better to do when the snow is coming down heavy\, especi
 ally when you have a minor ankle fracture like I did this winter that kept
  me down for a couple of weeks. But you do you.\n\nThe next “Happy Dog T
 akes On” program\, a series of panel discussions in partnership with the
  City Club that take place at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square so you can en
 joy a loaded hot dog\, some excellent tater tots and a couple of beers whi
 le you listen\, is called “The Happy Dog Takes on Your Summer Reading Li
 st.” Four literary professionals will purport to tell you what books are
  “must reads” for this summer\, including kids’ books and “Young A
 dult” books. In fact\, there are no “must reads”: go with your own i
 nterests and tastes\, whether it’s poetry\, history\, biography\, murder
  mysteries or weighty tomes about the roots of the Middle East conflict. (
 I personally never read fiction\, but you probably don’t want to read ab
 out Chicago history\, sociology and culture!)\n\nThe speakers include Cuya
 hoga County Public Library Adult Programming Manager Bill Kelly\; the Clev
 eland Public Library’s Senior Director of Outreach &amp\; Programming Er
 ica Marks\; Mac’s Backs—Books on Coventry store manager Rosa Ransom\; 
 and Literary Cleveland Programming Director Michelle Smith.\n\nRegistratio
 n for the free event isn’t required\, but it’s helpful. Go here. The f
 orum will be livestreamed on the City Club website starting at 7:30pm. You
  can text questions to 330-541-5794.\n\n[mappress mapid="511"]
