If you are reading this column, I assume you like books too, so you will be happy to learn that the inaugural Riverside Book Festival is coming Oct. 11 — in just about one week — at Riverside Main Library, downtown. Bringing a book festival to Riverside has long been a dream and is a natural addition to all of the festivals Riverside, City of Arts and Innovation, annually hosts. Memoir brings those true stories to life and lets you inhabit another person’s experiences for the duration of the book. In many ways, the Riverside Book Festival is my parting gift to Inlandia. The Riverside Book Festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 11 at the Riverside Main Library, 3900 Mission Inn Ave.
