Whether we’re at the casino boats hemorrhaging chips at the Texas Hold ‘Em table or engaging in a furious game of Uno with our 10-year-old niece, we totally suck at card games. But we love the idea of card games, and we love reading about people who are as bad at cards as we are almost as much as we love ice cream and pornography. That’s why we think Edward McPherson’s new book—wherein the card-playing novice enters the North American Bridge Championship while chronicling the game’s origin, psychology and popularity—is like porno-flavored ice cream. Edward McPherson signs Backwash Squeeze and Other Improbable Feats: A Newcomer’s Journey Into the World of Bridge 7 p.m. Thursday at the Barnes & Noble in the Preston Royal Shopping Center.
