LGBT book group

Tonight will be the first meeting of Russell's LGBT book group, at Waterstones on Albion Street (? the three-storey one) at seven o'clock. Everyone should come. We will be meeting the rest of the group and suggesting things to read and Waterstones are apparently providing drinks. Russell also assures me there may be poppers. What's not to love?

I didn't go, but I heard that they have picked the first book... Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit.

So yeah, I'll be there next time... whenever it is.

Oh I don't like that book... think I misguidedly bought it & then donated it to the LGBT library.

I'd still like to go 2 the next meeting tho.

I should imagine that'd be nightmarish, trying 2 read with a splitting headache. Maybe the been dressed in leather and having stories read to you by a bear is quite relaxing....

INcidentally, Waterstones has run out of copies of 'Oranges are not the only fruit', but borders still have about 5 copies....

Yeah, I did. There were so many people we had to split into two groups! This month we're reading The City and the Pillar, by Gore Vidal. I started it yesterday; don't love it as much as Oranges, but I've read some of Gore's stuff before and he can be really precise, in a bitchy, funny sort of way.

Not sure, but it's generally the same time each month, and they put up a sign in Waterstone's letting people know exactly when closer to the time, I think.

There really ought to be cake. There wasn't last time - but there was free tea and coffee afterwards, which was almost as good. Ish. In a way.
