Invented by the Stranger’s Christopher Frizzelle, the reading party is every first Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. That’s when the Fireside Room at the Sorrento Hotel goes quiet and fills with people. The reading public. It fills right away with all these people who don’t know each other, and they sit very close, sometimes three strangers to a couch. By 7 p.m., you can’t get a seat.
