Wednesday Reading Is Eclectic

Martin Duberman's Stonewall has been kicking around my house for a long time before I finally picked it up. The book was updated in 1993, which means the update is a quarter of a century ago. Nonetheless, it stands as an excellent overview of the world of American (mostly urban) gay people just before, during, and after the Stonewall uprising.

I just read John le Carre's latest, which is new-book-by-old-favourite territory, and then "My Father, The Pornographer," Chris Offutt's memoir of his father andrew j offutt, which was fascinating and compelling and filled in another shadowy corner of SF/fandom history for me. No idea what's up next; whatever it is will come the other side of my reading the citizenship oath, which is kind of absorbing my attention just now.
