Read On! Fort Collins presents an evening with its 2007 author Mark Spragg, Sunday, April 22, at 7:00 p.m. at the Lincoln Center. Tickets are $5 and are available at the box office or at the door.
Mark Spragg is the author of Where Rivers Change Direction, a memoir that won the Mountains & Plains Booksellers Award, and The Fruit of the Stone, a novel. Both were top-ten Book Sense selections and have been translated into seven languages. His second novel, An Unfinished Life was published in August 2004. He lives in Cody, Wyoming.
Read On! is a project to bring city-wide residents together who have read the same book and then want to discuss it, hopefully promoting understanding, diversity and tolerance by breaking barriers between people and cultures. This is a unique opportunity for residents to educate themselves, meet people beyond their everyday contacts, and share in a positive experience. The program is family-oriented, and includes books that appeal to both adults and teenagers. In addition to reading, discussing, and developing activities around the chosen book, the committee also invites the author to the host city. The Read On! Fort Collins: Shared Community Experience is to build community through reading and to encourage thoughtful communication between young adults and older citizens on challenging, provocative topics.
