FOR THE WEALTHY BOOKWORMS: Chilean exiled author Isabel Allende is the keynote speaker at a benefit lunch over on the Eastside today, at the Maydenbauer Center. She wrote "The House of The Spirits," an epic generations-spanning magic realism novel about Estaban and Alba and (maybe) Pablo Neruda, among other dozens of acclaimed literary manifestations of genius. If you have the minimum $150 donation to get you a seat at the benefit, this is where you need to be at lunch-time.

Books: Isabel Allende reads from her new novel, Ines of My Soul. The Ines in question here is...ah...a real person...who, well, she's got something to do with Chile, historically. It's all there in the book. And what difference does it make? Allende is so damn charming to listen to.

>>>Third Place Books, 7:00pm. Another weighty tome, Unreleased Beatles by Richie Unterberger, to add to your Beatles-only reference section. It details the shitload of stuff that was recorded but, you know, forgotten about what with being so high at the time, plus the whole headtrip with Yoko. Free with OCD collecting disorder.
