Wednesday June 25

A 30-year resident of Florida and a fishing guide for 13 years on Sanibel Island, Randy Wayne White seems like a regular guy except for the fact that his name is one hell of a tongue-twister. Try saying it three times fast and you'll know what we mean. Anyhow, White's fame comes not from his name but his ten novels featuring former CIA agent/marine biologist main character Doc Ford. People seem to love this guy even if he's fat, depressed, and boozing it up. In fact he's in exactly that condition in White's latest book, Everglades. Ford perks up a bit when he and his hippie sidekick Tomlinson get to deal with a bogus guru, a dangerous Israeli soldier, creepy religious cults, environmental disasters, and the usual scams. Sounds like the ordinary doings in our lovely state. White reads from his work tonight at 8:00 at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Admission is free. Call 305-442-4408. (NK)
