Get a free compass at Ben Greenman’s reading at the Barnes and Noble in Park Slope. Yeah, that right: a compass.

Nothing fancy, mind you. Just a dime store compass: a handy thing to have when you need ind your way…

He gave out purple balloons at the last reading at the Community Bookstore. Now he’s gonna give you a compass because the book is called, "A Circle is a Balloon and Compass Both."

Just kidding. Just kidding. But the book, a collection of short stories, is supposed to be funny and smart.

But I’m not kidding about the reading at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble on Thursday, July 12 at 7:30 pm.
