Jeff Lindsay, the author of the Dexter series of books that spawned the television show Dexter, will be signing at Seattle Mystery Bookshop at noon today. I read a Dexter book a while ago and I enjoyed it—I thought that Lindsay made Dexter a more convincing sociopath than the TV writers did in the first season. (I haven't seen any other seasons of the TV show, so I can't tell you if they've gotten any better at it, though I've heard the third season is really good.)

I know you'll be going to the Genius Awards tonight, so the rest of this Reading Tonight is for the kids who can't get into the Moore because they're not yet 21.

Paul Park reads at University Book Store tonight. Park is a "humanist" science fiction author who has written ten books, and sci-fi fans adore his Roumania series.

And Rick Bass reads at Elliott Bay Book Company tonight. The much-beloved Montana-based nature writer and novelist reads from his newest novel, Nashville Chrome.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.
