Hickam, Dos Passos and Dostoyevsky featured in Tom Peters' forthcoming chatcasts

Homer Hickam, Jr.Homer Hickam's Sky of Stone, John Dos Passos's The 42nd Parallel and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov will be featured in Tom Peters' next chatcasts for Online Programming for All Libraries and the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center.

Sky will be discussed Nov. 21, with The 42nd Parallel set for Dec. 20 and the Brothers K for Jan. 31. As noted those are audiochats, though you can ask questions by typing, not just with voice. Go here to log in and get the software, which is spyware-free. Pictured is Homer Hickam, author of Sky and also the topic of a recent TeleRead post. Coming in December--date not yet set--may be a discussion of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 led by Bradbury expert Loren Logsdon, an English professor from Eureka College in Illinois. Bradbury was born in Waukegan.
