My friend, Keith Greenberg, author of The Day John Lennon Died from Backbeat Books, will be reading at the Barnes and Noble on 86th Street in Manhattan.

Manhattan? But we Brooklynites rarely go there.

Yeah, yeah. I also wish he was reading at the Park Slope Barnes & Noble. Still, it’s pretty exciting that he’s getting a Barnes and Noble reading. Way to go Keith. Way to go!

Greenberg’s book is a  breathtaking, minute-by-minute account of the events leading to the horrible moment when Mark David Chapman calmly fired his Charter Arms .38 Special into the rock icon John Lennon.
