Friends With Benefits is tonight

By Jason Diamond » See you all out tonight at Friends With Benefits tonight at Bruar Falls (245 Grand Street in Williamsburg). We have a stellar lineup for you to check out, all for the recommended price of a donated book that will go to our friends at Books Through Bars.

Mike Edison (Author, I Have Fun Everywhere I Go)
Franz Nicolay (of The Hold Steady)
Leni Zumas (Author, Farewell Navigator)
Vincent Cacchione (Soft Black)
Jesse Sposato (Sadiemagazine.com)

Things get going around eight.
A note from Books Through Bars:

We are always looking for new books and used books in good condition on the following:

• African-American history, especially 20th century
• Native American history
• Latin American history
• Radical politics
• Social sciences and psychology
• Dictionaries, thesauruses, and Spanish-English dictionaries
• Learning world languages
• How-to (drawing, chess, sign language...)
• Mayan and Aztec history
• Memoirs and fiction by people of color
• Mythology
• Poetry anthologies

With few exceptions, we want only paperbacks since most prisons do not accept hardcover books, and they are expensive to mail.

We do not take: religious books, including Bibles; legal books (except legal dictionaries); old magazines (besides National Geographic); white supremacist literature or anything advocating racial animosity, sexism or homophobia; business books; encyclopedias; mass market fiction (such as Danielle Steele and Stephen King).
