Summer time in the city! We all aspire to read heaps of books over break, but it's nice to get out and enjoy lit events that don't involve stuffy upstairs apartments and sweaty palms turning pages. Here are some more active events you can check out, in addition to the regular, weekly, year-round stuff:
