What Los Angeles is reading

At an alley off Cahuenga filled with people who waited for the Hotel Cafe to open for the monthly reading series Tongue and Groove. These well-heeled loiterers told Jacket Copy what they've been reading, both good and not-so-good.
In case the books go by too fast, a list is after the jump.

The people, and books, in order of appearance:
Billy Criswell is reading "Nature, Man and Woman" by Alan Watts and a book on the painter Robert Ryman.
Tom Camp is reading "An Ordinary Spy" by Joseph Weisberg.
Conrad Romo, host of Tongue and Groove, is reading "Zeroville" by Steve Erickson.
Poet Amy Gerstler is reading "Madeleine Is Sleeping" and "Ms. Hempel Chronicles" by Sarah Shun-lien Bynum.
I hope Steve Erickson is a good sport and will accept my invitation to read with Tongue and Groove at the Hotel Cafe sometime. Me and my big old mouth will go so far as to say, please.
thanks
Conrad
