We have two great options for free literary events this weekend. If you happen to be in or near Chicago, we recommend Printers Row Lit Fest, a two-day book fair with lots of in-person readings, lectures, and book signings. All events are free, no tickets required. Saturday, Sept. 7 & Sunday, Sept. 8, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. CDT.
Can't make it to Chicago this weekend? Check out The Back Room discussion of "Big Fall Books" with authors Ally Condie, David Ellis, S.C. Lalli, and Thomas E. Ricks. For our money (actually, it's free!), this is one of the best online reading/discussion series around. Sunday, Sept. 8, 7 p.m. ET.
