Blake Nelson Reading (Powells City of Books, @2:00pm): Blake Nelson’s latest young adult novel, Destroy All Cars (Scholastic), features James Hoff, who likes to rant against America’s consumerist culture and his ex-girlfriend, Sadie, who he feels isn’t doing enough to change the world. But, just like he can’t avoid buying things, he also can’t avoid Sadie. “[A]n elegant and bittersweet story,” cheers Publishers Weekly.
