Both sides now: Journalist David Klinghoffer will talk about the theories he outlines in his book “How Would God Vote?” at 7 p.m. Monday at Third Place Books. Klinghoffer believes, based on his interpretation of the Bible, that God is a Republican. Did he register? The book lists at $24.95. You can listen to Klinghoffer at the bookstore at the Lake Forest Park Town Center, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park.
Check their Web site, www.thirdplacebooks.com or call 206-366-3333 for other events. A quick look tells us that the David Sedaris appearance on June 24 is already sold out.
Another viewpoint comes from journalist Robert Scheer when he talks about “The Pornography of Power: How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America” at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Town Hall Seattle. Though a liberal, Scheer aligns his theories with President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell speech in which he warned Americans about the growing military-industrial complex. Scheer is currently editor of Truthdig.com. The presentation is part of the Town Hall Center for Civic Life. Admission is $5; the book costs $24.99. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Ave. Check www.townhallseattle.org for more information.
If politics sends you over the edge, check in with author W. Hodding Carter as he reads from and signs “Off the Deep End: The probably Insane Idea That I Could Swim My Way to Youth, and Qualify for the Olympics, at Age Forty-Five.” Carter will be at the University Book Store, 4326 University Way, in Seattle at 7 p.m. Friday. He may not make the cut in late June for the Beijing Games (shouldn’t he be training instead of touring?) but says he’ll push on for 2012. “Deep End” lists at $21.95. To see if he shows up, check the bookstore Web site, www.bookstore.washington.edu, or call 800-335-7323.
