David Kipen, founder of the lending library Libros Schmibros in Boyle Heights, joins Take Two every full moon for his segment Reading by Moonlight.

If you look up in the sky tonight you'll notice it's a full moon.

And that means it's time to bring back our literary contributor David Kipen.

He's the founder of the lending library Libros Schmibros in Boyle Heights.

And he joins Take Two not once in a blue moon but every full moon for his segment Reading by Moonlight.

One literary news tidbit Kipen shares is that LA writer John Fante and his novel "Ask the Dust" are having a birthday. So how is Kipen celebrating?
