Historic LoDo: Chad Kultgen, author of the much debated, always controversial The Average American Male, will read from and sign his long-awaited sequel The Average American Marriage (HarperPerennial). Now married with children, Kultgen’s lewd and sex-obsessed narrator once again offers up his deep (and not so deep) thoughts on love, marriage, kids, and (naturally) sex: from birthday sex to interns to parenting, The Average American Marriage looks upon the institution of marriage with the same deadpan smirk he has brought to the rest of his sex-addled, perennially disaffected life.

Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Boulder author Bill Karelis teaches meditation and conducts intensive programs and retreats in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa. Karelis will discuss and sign his new book Living Life Fully: Finding Sanity and Goodness in the Unpredictable (Shambhala). Meditation doesn’t have to be heavy or ambitious. We don’t have to
cultivate the self-image of being “spiritual” people. Rather, by forming
a simple, direct, and honest relationship with ourselves and our world,
we discover a rich and full path, no matter what our life situation.
Cultivating decency and gentleness is always possible. And doing so
makes a genuine life.
“As Living Life Fully is clearly written in language understandable by both the Buddhist and non-Buddhist reader, this book will be very useful, especially for a Western audience.” —Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, from the foreword Can’t make it to the signing?
