After the death in July of their father, Dan Pelzer, at the age of 92, John and Marci Pelzer discovered something extraordinary in his things — a very long list of every book he had ever read. In total, from 1962 to 2023, he read a staggering 3,599 books. The list of all the titles is a book in itself: 109 pages long, single-spaced.

Dan borrowed almost all his books from the Columbus Metropolitan Library. When the library staff heard about Dan’s list, they decided to share it on social media and made Dan’s title collection available as its own list that the library says people have been checking out.

“People are intentionally going up to the displays,” Columbus Metropolitan Library CEO Lauren Hagan told CBS News. “The traffic to the social media post is in the millions.” https://cbsn.ws/45PP531

Be there for the launch of this groundbreaking collaboration between author & artist, which reconsiders the way the world approaches trauma recovery.

Saturday 6/14 4-6pm at Aquarium Village, Newport.

It’s no secret that writers and visual artists are mostly solitary creatures when they work, but when they work together, it can create magic, as was the case with the collaboration between Taylor Yount and Veta Bakhtina.
