Paul Simon, Dept. of Eagles, Ira Glass Do 826 Benefit

Revenge of the Book Eaters will resurface in New York City for its third annual benefit there this fall. The show will feature music from Paul Simon and Grizzly Bear member Daniel Rossen's Department of Eagles side project, as well as a duet by Thao Nguyen and Rogue Wave's Zach Rogue.

Music isn't the only game at Revenge of the Book Eaters, though. The show will also feature literary pursuits from some formidable bookish types. "This American Life" host Ira Glass will present a story, and actor/writer Eric Bogosian and special guests will read a new play by Jonathan Franzen.

"The Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver will host this Revenge of the Book Eaters event, which takes place at NYC's Town Hall on October 7. Proceeds from the show will go to support 826NYC's free writing programs for kids.
