To celebrate the new ATP Book Club Lord Sinclair will be hosting Cut Up Book Bingo at ATP New York.
In tribute to William Burroughs each Bingo Call will be a quote "cut" from a different book- the first person to identify the book will win a book. There will also be prizes for winning the Bingo.
In the spirit of a Book Club we would like YOU to help by bringing a favourite book to donate. Your book with then be passed on to another interested reader as a prize in the Book Bingo.
Please bring a book that you have enjoyed and would recommend to friends. If we have books left over they will be passed on as prizes in the Pop Quiz.
Details of where the books can be donated will be posted around the Kutshers site.
Thanks for your help!
Lord Sinclair and guests will also be performing the UK ATP favourite "Rock'n'Roll Bingo" during the weekend .
"It wasn't until I started reading and found books they wouldn't let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else."

"If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em!"

ATP Book Club Launched at ATP NY 2010
As a new feature at ATP we are asking curators to recommend some of their favourite books which we will publish on the website ahead of the event. We'll choose one from the list to focus on and have a book club at the event to discuss that book.
Jim Jarmusch kicks things off for his event next month with the following list:
Kill All Your Darlings - Luc Sante
The Invention of Everything Else - Samantha Hunt
The Job: Interviews with William S Burroughs
Unsung Heroes Of Rock 'n' Roll: The Birth of Rock in the Wild Years Before Elvis - Nick Tosches
Hellfire: The Jerry Lee Lewis Story - Nick Tosches
But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz - Geoff Dyer
We'll be discussing the books Kill All Your Darlings (a collection of Sante's articles- many of which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Village Voice) and The Invention of Everything Else (a novelization of Nikola Tesla's life) at the event. Look for them at your local bookstore or buy from Amazon here (Darlings) or here (Invention).
We are thrilled to announce that both Luc Sante and Samantha Hunt will be joining us at the festival on Sunday September 5th in the Sportman's Bar at midday to read from and discuss their books on a panel hosted by Carlo McCormick, senior editor of Paper Magazine.
