Reading at Seoul Selection Saturday at 2pm

We have really enjoyed this past week in Seoul--even more so than in 2010. There's always something to do here, and we have been doing a greatest hits tour--saunas, Korean food, walks, drinks. Today I was in Ilsan, one of the areas that I write about in INTO THIS WORLD.

Speaking of, I'll be giving a brief reading and talk and signing books tomorrow June 29 at 2pm at Seoul Selection, located near Gyunbok Palace.

Here's a link to the event as posted in Groove Korea:
