Since we're thankful for our favorite authors, this Thanksgiving we decided to skip the food and dine on books, instead. John Hodgman sat at the head of the table and carved up a juicy signed copy of More Information Than You Require. Signed first editions of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers made the perfect gravy. We passed around some delicious sides, from essays by Jon Meacham (American Lion), Lin Jensen (Together under One Roof), and Matt Bondurant (The Wettest County in the World), to INK Q&As from Wally Lamb (The Hour I First Believed) and Alex Perry (Falling off the Edge). For dessert, guest bloggers Dame Darcy (Gasoline) and Kerry Miller (Passive Aggressive Notes) brought enough delicious sweets for everyone.
