Legal-thriller and mystery author Scott Turow at the Tucson Festival of Books in March 2014.

Lose yourself at the Tucson Festival of Books 

When this celebration of the written word takes place over two days each March on the University of Arizona campus, some 140,000 people show up. Seems everyone loves a good book. And like a good book, the festival makes the improbable inevitable. You can shake hands with J.A. Jance, exchange pleasantries with Gail Sheehy or ask Noam Chomsky what the heck “Syntactic Structures” was all about. Best of all, you can take a friend along and spark their love of literature and reading.
