Marking its 13th year of disproving the tired old saw about Angelenos not reading, the LA Times Festival of Books unites bibliophiles with the writers and publishers who love them. Taking over theaters, halls, and lawns across the UCLA campus all weekend, readings, signings, panel discussions, and forums cover subjects as divergent as the Iraq war, the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, and how to entertain picky eaters. New this year, a menu of writing seminars caters to those hoping to become the next American literary icon.
