Richard Glaubman will make a special appearance in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area as part of Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads 2011. His book, 'Life Is So Good,' the true story of a man who learned to read at the age of 98, has been chosen as the focus of the 2011 Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads program. Glaubman will discuss this book and his friendship with George Dawson, the remarkable 103 year old African-American man who is the co-author and subject of the book (Dawson died in 2001).

A booksigning will follow and books will be on sale at this event, courtesy of Borders. This appearance is a key event for the 2011 Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti reads program, which this year focuses on the subject 'What Makes Life Worth Living?'.
