NEW VIDEO – #Pandemic Reading

Killing_WIlliamsburg_COVER-740x1024Special “Mysterious Pandemic” Reading

A few years ago, an independent book by Brooklyn author Bradley Spinelli won the “Naked Girls Reading Literary Honors” top prize with “Killing Wiliamsburg”. The book centers around a mysterious pandemic that is causing mayhem in 1990’s Brooklyn. For the live celebration, Michelle L’amour and Greta Layne read excerpts from it. And for some strange reason, we thought it appropriate to post again. 😉

What is Bare Book Club?

Bare Book Club (formerly “Naked Girls Reading”) is the “World’s Most Provocative Literary Salon” according to the Toronto Globe and Mail. Since it’s launch in 2009, it has spread to more than 20 international cities. The concept is simple. A group of stunning ladies choose an interesting topic, take the stage and read naked about it to an audience. Too good to be true? Nope. Totally true. From Shakespeare to Sci-Fi, Movie Scripts to Gossip Columns, Oscar Wilde to Paris Hilton…if it’s in print, we’ve probably tackled it. You may laugh. You may cry. You’ll certainly not forget it.
