The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
Sometimes, a book can be your best friend. It touches your heart. It can take you to faraway lands and places you never dreamed of. You become a part of the world that it creates as you meander through the pages, never knowing what to expect with each turn.
If the written word excites you, whether you read a book a week or a book a year, the 13th annual Los Angeles Times Book Festival is the place for you. In conjunction with UCLA, the Festival of Books is the largest celebration of the written word in the country. It is a place for people who love books to meet their favorite authors, publishers and maybe meet that someone you might want to start a book club with. There will be speakers, panels, discussions and more.
The festival starts this Saturday, April 26th through Sunday, April 27th at UCLA’s Main Campus. Admission is free, but there is an $8 charge for parking. Or you can always bring quarters and try to find parking in Westwood Village. West siders might want to check out the Big Blue Bus or the Culver City Bus and save even more money. Also, if you want to see any speakers you’ll have to buy tickets, but they’re only 75 cents through Ticketmaster.
Books can be friends for life, and often are. Come check out this great L.A. event in honor of them.

The April 25-26 book fair in LA will introduce new book by Vahid Razavi, Iranian American entrepreneur who gained priceless experiences by traveling the world and trying to find similarities with people. He is explaining the current situation in places like IRAN, USA, Serbia etc.
Also, he said that for some people travel is a way of life and it does not necessarily include 5 star hotels and vacations on the far away beaches. There are so many other ways to experience different cultures and enrich ones life. There is a book that talks allot about these kind of things, it is a travel journal of an Iranian American entrepreneur traveling in Balkans, called The Age of Nepotism.
