Sundance 2011: What Were Celebrities Spotted Reading In Public? (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 01/25/11 07:44 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:25 PM ET

At Sundance 2011, the Good Book Good Cause literacy campaign donated books to the gifting suites. The campaign was created by Media Muscle in order to stress the importance of books and remind people of the joy of reading. The campaign will give a contribution to the Charter Oak Challenge Foundation, which sponsors after-school and community outreach programs for at-risk youth.

The Sundance Film Festival is taking place from January 20-30 in Park City, Utah.

We love spotting people reading in public. Check out these celebrities spotted reading in public at the event.

Three or four books, read by multiple celebrities!

Believable stuff.

Since when does a celebrity buying a book warrant the writing of a news article?

Sundance 2011: What Were Celebrities Spotted Reading In Public. Looking at some of these "celebrities," I'm guessing coloring books or books with lots of pictures and small words.

Must have been a very limited selection of books. And they must have been free.

And her choice of a book is so odd.

Do they only allow four different books at Sundance? Or were those four books part of the swag that each of them received for being good lackeys.
