Ben Tanzer reading in Brooklyn!
Well, it finally happened folks and I could not be more happier. I was able to meet the Man, the Myth, the Legend....ladies and gents... Ben Tanzer! Hooray!
Ben was able to give a reading at Freebird Books (a SUPER cool used book store......I bought like 5 books that night) right here in Brooklyn. Of course, Ben read from his book, "Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" which contains my very first book cover art and I'm very proud of that fact because it's a beautiful cover and a super great story!
I have to say, hearing Ben read in person was a great pleasure . He's a natural born stage man and narrator as well. Sharp wit, highly animated and overall a warm and thoughtful guy. I was thinking "dude, you have to do a book on tape series" and I think more than one person agreed, if not, even mentioned it to him. Seriously, the book takes on a whole new spectrum when he reads and I hope other people will have the opportunity to hear him as well. THIS is an important characteristic for a writer and very crucial to making appearances and giving readings. If you have a certain flair for reading in front of people and keeping their attention, then you have a special gift.
Congrats Ben on a great book, reading and night of beers!!!!
