...a displacement activity for reading.
How much nicer to dress up for display,maybe even a boater- meet people in a tent, mix with a few glamorous literary celebrities and drink a publisher's traditional warm white wine than to engage in the demanding activity that is reading.
The wine may be warm, but it is free right? :D

Are you mad? No, you have pay to pay to get into the event, which is the author boring on followed by warm white wine.

You paid good money for a boring event with warm white wine, and you're asking if I'm mad? ;D

Well, no, going to boring events like these is how i earn my living as an editor - which is even worse!
