The community is invted to a literary event and fundraiser on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at the Cedar House Sport Hotel, to celebrate the publication of Buzzy Jackson’s new book, “The Inspirational Atheist: Wise Words on the Wonder and Meaning of Life.”

Buzzy, who was raised in Truckee and is a graduate of Tahoe Truckee schools, will discuss how she came to write her third published book and what she learned in the process.

Questions and answers and a book signing will follow.



The Inspirational Atheist is a collection of uplifting quotations from some of mankind’s most important philosophers, scientists, writers and comedians.

The book will be a treasured daily companion for humanists who believe that life has meaning when we live it meaningfully, independent of the existence of a higher power.



With words from Carl Sagan, Charlotte Bronte, Bertrand Russell, Joan Didion, and more on topics ranging from love and nature to wisdom and beauty, this book is a celebration of the sublime without the divine.

More info on the book and author can be found at http://www.buzzyjackson.com

The Feb. 10 event starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are available at brownpapertickets.com/event/1133580; and at Truckee Library, 10031 Levon Ave., and the Bookshelf Bookstore, 11429 Donner Pass Road.

Copies of the book are available at the Bookshelf and for sale at the event. The Bookshelf is donating 10 percent of all book sales to Friends of the Truckee Library.
