The men took over this week at Meet Us on Main Street! Alan and Kyle happily took over the Street and gave a really great presentation talking about their favorite books and films. We learned that Alan likes (LOVES!) series - highlighting the works of Patrick O'Brian, S. M. Stirling, W.E.B. Griffin, Robert Crais, and Robert B. Parker. He also talked about one of my (seriously) favorite series authors, Lee Child. Child's newest book, 61 Hours (his 14th Jack Reacher novel), comes out in May. (And just in case you missed the newest news about our Spring Author Series (speaking of series), Lee Child will be our featured speaker, on Sunday, June 6th at 5:30 p.m.!)

Kyle took us on the road...behind the wheel, to the track, to the mindset, into history, the showroom, ("We're still in the car.") and even onto some scenic routes. With a passion for racing (and cars), Kyle shared his contagious enthusiasm for the sport (and found the photo of the Ford Falcon (just like the one Erica's sister used to drive!). Click here for all of Kyle's picks.

Visit us every Wednesday at 11 a.m. for Meet Us on Main Street!
