First Book Seattle is holding its 2nd annual 'What was your First Book?' fundraising read-a-thon on Saturday at Richard Hugo House (1634 11th Ave, Seattle) from 10am to noon on Saturday May 18th.
An exciting and eclectic group of Seattle celebrities will come together to read the first book they remember falling in love with.
Curt Nakon, Ride the Duck Captain Bjorn Toorun
You'll never guess how this Northern New Jersey country boy ended up in Seattle. He attended the University of Washington because "my brother lived here, so I had free housing!" After earning a degree in geology, he stayed in Seattle because he loves the city and it's convenient for his active hobbies. Captain Bjorn loves to do all the things his son is doing: snowboarding, roller hockey, clam digging and bedazzling Quackers. Now a 25-year Seattle native and former wedding photographer, he says the best part about being a Duck Captain is "showing people my city - it's unbelievable to see the look on their faces when my guests learn something new!"
Captain Bjorn Toorun will read "One Duck Stuck" by Phyllis Root
