The Festival of Books is a lot of fun and a set of curious paradoxes. The first is that it's an enormous social festival about books, an art form usually enjoyed, unlike, say, theater, film, or music, by oneself in silence. Another is that much of the point of the festival is to see writers in the flesh, even though the point of a writer, really, is that their thoughts and feelings reach their best expression in print. Otherwise they'd be actors or talk-show hosts. (Though some of the writers there, like Carl Reiner and Craig Ferguson, do write perform).
