Our own Bob Hellenga is reading this Friday from his new novel, Philosophy Made Simple, at 4 p.m., March 24, in the Alumni Room of Old Main, Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. The reading is free and open to the public, so if you're in the area, come and hear. See the full announcement for more details about Bob (one of my favorite colleagues) and a bit about Knox.
