One of the crown jewels of Paste's hometown, the 2008 Decatur Book Festival, kicks off this afternoon. And, like any self-respecting lovers of beer, corn dogs, funnel cakes, live music, late-summer community gatherings-- and, oh yeah, books-- we're pretty excited about it. If you haven't looked at the schedule yet, do so-- but sit down first, 'cause it's a doozy.

As you're plotting out your weekend, make time to swing by the Paste tent, where we'll be offering our Pay What You Want subscription offer to festival-goers. We're also co-sponsoring the closing night festivities, a live performance on Decatur Square by the Drive By Truckers' Patterson Hood. And Paste's own books editor, Charles McNair, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel Land O'Goshen, will make several appearances. 

Still overwhelmed? We've asked some of our favorite Atlanta-area bookish types for their picks for best of the fest, so take heed.
