One Book, One Philadelphia will soon kick off its sixth consecutive year with a visit on January 8 from bestselling writer Dave Eggers , author of this year’s featured One Book reading selection, What Is the What . More than 150 events are scheduled to take place all across the city during the One Book program period (January 8 - March 20, 2008)--everything from book discussions and film screenings to cooking classes and dance performances, all thematically related to What Is the What and East African culture and history. If you haven’t yet read What Is the What , now’s the time to get started!
