Summary
If you lost your position as a high-powered advertising executive, if your girlfriend was pregnant and your wife (soon-to- be ex-wife) was really mad, if you discovered that you had a slow- growing brain tumor - all of that - what would you do? Why, you'd get an entry-level job at Starbucks! That's what Michael Gates Gill did at the age of 64 and then, in a sublime act of product- placement, wrote "How Starbucks Saved My Life" (Penguin Press, $23). Maybe what they say is right: Work will set you free. Gates, who lives in New York, will be at Davis-Kidd Booksellers Wednesday at 6 p.m. to talk about and sign the book. The store is at 387 Perkins Ext. in Laurelwood. Call 683-9801.
This week, Davis-Kidd also welcomes Bruce Feldman, who will be at the store Thursday at 6 p.m. to discuss and sign "Meat Market: Inside the Smash-Mouth World of College Football Recruiting" (ESPN Books, $24.95). Feldman is a senior writer for ESPN: The Magazine. On Friday , Feldman will be joined by sports writers Warren St. John, John Ed Bradley and Clay Travis and tailgating chef Pableaux Johnson at Off Square Books in Oxford, Miss., to talk about, well, sports. The session begins at 6:30 p.m. Call (662) 236-2262.See the full content of this document
