Gone to the Festival of Books sponsored by LA times and attended a few panel discussions on fiction in different genres. Took a glimpse of Julie Andrews who signed for her new book, saw John Voit(?), the actor in Midnight Cowboy,who sat by Mitch Albom, the author of Five People You Meet in Heaven. Missed Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, which was made into a movie by Stephen Spielberg in 1984. I felt small when I saw mountains of books newly published by hundreds of writers I never heard of.
Since the weather was swelteringly warm, I mostly stayed indoors and missed the chance to browse around the tented book booths under the scourging sun. Nonetheless, I managed to buy a few books: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Vintage Murakami, a collection of his short stories.
