Tales of the City

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;-)

  1. Saw the first mini-series. That’s all on my Maupin for now. I should READ more. I’ve been tempted by QPC, but so far, no bite. Did get one for just history books, which I’m really tempted to join. I think I’m on some master history mailing list. Perhaps based on an Amazon purchase. Not the worst list to be on. :-)

  2. The very fist gay author i have read … and truelly interesting .Once you’ve started with one book you want to read more and more …come to think of it I’m happy he didn’t stop with one lol
    Anyone who finds should give a shot i doubt they’ll be disappointed .
