LGBTQA Group Books

[Troy]

I recently created a book club that focuses on books that are somehow connected to Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender people, Queer-identified people, and/or Allies. We will be starting The Swimming-Pool Library on December 17th, and we are currently accepting suggestions for January's book. Most of the technical details of our little startup have been worked out, so come and visit.

New members are always welcome! So bring yourself and your friends and let's get this party started!

Picks so far have been: The Swimming-Pool Library, The Mayor of Castro Street, The Brothers Bishop, and we're currently starting At Swim, Two Boys.

If you've read one of these books, feel free to add to the discussion and join the group! We need posters.

Come read with us.

Troy,

I'm sorry to say, while I would love to join your group, the books, along with a majority of your readers, seem to be Gay-oriented. As a librarian, I've found it fairly easy to find extensive readings for that theme and am currently trying to locate appropriate readings for lesbians, transgender, queer-identified peoples. If you all locate some good ones, I would be really interested.

Thanks for your comments, Lydia. There is most definitely a slant towards gay material, although we are currently reading Stone Butch Blues, which doesn't fit that category. It would be great of you to join and maybe bring in some people who can suggest and vote for something other than gay material. We just vote, so whoever votes gets to pick.
