So, today I finished reading Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin. Since the sixth book, Michael Tolliver Lives just came out last year I decided to read the whole series. I love Maupin. I love the short chapters. And I love how he really conveys a story in so few words. Literally, some chapters are just conversation between characters, but he gives you just a few small details to keep you on track, really all you need to know. It’s nice fluffy beach reading for sure, and I plan to start reading the second book, More Tales of the City, next week at the Gulf. Thanks to Book Mooch I was able to get four of the first five books for free.
Did I mention I signed up for Quality Paperback Books? It’s like Columbia House for readers. Six books, six bucks and you only have to buy two more at regular price within a year. I only did it to get a dollar copy of Michael Tolliver Lives.
