There are just too many good events around town this week for us to narrow our picks for certain nights. Thus we present you with multiple options and leave that difficult choice to you. In the meantime, we’ll be brushing up on our science fiction in an effort to figure out how to move quickly from event to event. The solution? Teleporting. Clearly. Monday: writLoud returns to RADA tonight. We like this event, as......

Congratulations – you can read! (Presumably. Unless you just look at Londonist for the pictures.) Literacy is sexy. Hyper-literacy, even sexier. Or so we at Londonist tell ourselves as we don our Coke-bottle glasses and curl up each night with a bottle of wine and a dictionary. But enough about our steamy Valentine’s Day plans. What have you got planned? Now, you may have inferred that we’re a jaded lot over here at Londonist.......

Greetings, FOBGs (that’s Friends of the Book Grocer to the uninitiated), and a belated happy new year to you all! After an extended holiday slumber (bad, lazy Book Grocer), we return to bring you our weekly picks for the best of London’s literary(ish) events. And so, without further ado, let’s jump right in, shall we? Today: One too many spoonfuls of sugar this holiday season? Counteract it with a Spoonful of Poisoning at Rhythm......

The Londonist Literary List appears every Tuesday. If you'd like to bring an event to our attention, please email londonistlit@gmail.com. If you haven't seen the blog, or spotted them in the Guardian, Post Secret's conceit is simple - send a postcard airing a single piece of your dirty laundry. Now there's a book and an accompanying exhibition at Foyles till December the 10th. The new Smoke - a London Peculiar is out too. Here's......

The Londonist Literary List appears every Tuesday. If you'd like to bring an event to our attention, please email londonistlit@gmail.com. Those of us with an addiction to lists may have looked on folornly at this recent compilation of no less than 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die - but it did make us think of a drinking game to play. It includes a shot glass, a bottle of cheap vodka, three pairs......

The Londonist Literary List appears every Tuesday. If you'd like to bring an event to our attention, please email londonistlit@gmail.com. It's a busy old week, so let's get on: Tonight May Contain Graphic Content poses the question "Are graphic novels a complex and creative new literary form – or just glorified comic strips?" and they have some interesting speakers to debate the topic including Dan Franklin of Jonathan Cape, publisher of Ghost World, Jimmy......

This week: V for Vendetta, Army in the Shadows and The Double Life of Veronique. Plus all the usual film rumours and Trailer of the Week. We've heard semi-promising things about the latest attempt to tranfer the genius of Alan Moore to the big screen, and after hearing David Lloyd at the Guardian Newsroom last week our hopes were up. Unfortunately we trust Peter Bradshaw quite a bit and Pete Bradshaw absolutely hates V......

So you've got your golden ticket to go see V for Vendetta at the ICA. You're quaking in your fanboy boots at the prospect of being taken in hand by Alan Moore. So to be honest March couldn't get any more exciting unless a totalitarian government sprang up over night and gave you an excuse to wear your pointy hat out in public... Probably best not to mention the V for Vendetta Exhibition at......

The Londonist Literary List appears every Tuesday. If you’d like to bring an event to our attention, please email londonistlit@gmail.com. All the big releases came out last week (Zadie Smith, Rushdie, Coetzee, etc). This week, there's little in the way of new stuff to read, but there are a ton of authors talking all the same, in the form of readings and discussions. Last week was good for the homebodies. This week, all of......
