The December meeting took place on Wednesday December 16th at the Borders Books in the Pittsburgh Mills Mall. We discussed YOU BETTER NOT CRY: STORIES FOR CHRISTMAS. All in attendance were in agreement that the book made for a great, and timely, selection. High praise and reccomendations all around! We chose the January book selection, which Jason reccomended and Augusten Burroughs seconded with entheusistic praise. (Ok, Ok, Augusten wasn't there, but he commented in a recent interview that he would like to write a biography on the author of the new selection.)
We made the yule-tide gay! Our December book club selection was YOU BETTER NOT CRY: STORIES FOR CHRISTMAS by Augusten Burroughs. This collection of short stories by gay author Augusten Burroughs was recently released in October of 2009. We knew it was going to be a busy time of year, and we heard that it's a quick read... so congrats to all of you for putting this on your nice, not naughty, list. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT BY COMMENTING BELOW!
Like most great ideas... this one is simple. PGBC is open to anyone into gay-authored, gay-theme, or any great books representing all literary genres. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at a bookstore in the Pittsburgh region and discuss a book selection. Future book selections are made by suggestions from members, and determined by consensus or vote at the conclusion of each meeting. Interested in joining?
