I've lived in DC for 23 years now, and it was only last year that I became aware of the Library of Congress' National Book Festival. This year's festival is September 26 and features, among others, Junot Diaz (The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao), John Grisham (if you don't know what John Grisham wrote, you must've been under a rock for the last 20 years), John Irving (one of my favorite authors - The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp, The 158 Pound Marriage, etc.), Jodi Piccoult (My Sister's Keeper), David Wroblewski (The Story of Edgar Sawtelle), some great mystery/thriller writers (David Baldacci, Lee Child, Walter Mosley, Michael Connelly, Lisa Scottoline), and some great non-fiction/historical writers (Ken Burns, Sue Monk Kidd, Jon Meacham). Information for the 2009 National Book Festival, including a full list of authors can be found at:
