Tomorrow night at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, one GalleyCat editor will test his feeble skills of memorization beside some of the literary world’s finest minds.
To promote Kenneth C. Davis and Jenny Davis’ new book, “Don’t Know Much About Literature: What You Need to Know but Never Learned About Great Books and Authors,” Housing Works is hosting a literary trivia contest tomorrow night. The first round of the contest will feature bloggers and other literary types, and then, the audience will get a chance to participate. The show starts at 7 PM EST, and you can find out all the details at the Housing Works site.
Here’s more about the killer line-up, from the post: “Both authors will appear to test your knowledge, from Homer to Harry Potter, from Chaucer to ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ in a live game show complete with buzzers, book bloggers, and beer … First round teams include Jason Boog, Garth Risk Hallberg, Buzz Poole, Edward Champion, Catherine Lacey, and Drew Toal. Second round teams include you!”
