Historic LoDo: David Cross, known for roles on the small screen such as “never-nude” Tobias Funke on Arrested Development and the role of “David” in Mr. Show With Bob And David, as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, will read from and sign his first book I Drink for a Reason ($23.99 Grand Central). With a mix of personal essays, satirical fiction posing as truth, advice for rich people, information from America’s least favorite Rabbi and a top-ten list of top-ten lists, Cross’ first book is as unique as the comedian himself.

Colfax Avenue: A. J. Jacobs is the author of two New York Times bestsellers, The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically. He is also the editor-at-large at Esquire magazine, and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Entertainment Weekly, and is an occasional correspondent for NPR. Jacobs will discuss and sign his new book The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment ($25.00 Simon & Schuster), a collection of his most hilarious and thought-provoking experiments yet. In his role as human guinea pig, Jacobs fearlessly takes on a series of life-altering challenges that provides readers with equal parts insight and humor. (And which drives A.J.’s patient wife, Julie, to the brink of insanity.) Visit A. J. Jacobs’ website Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
