All the pretty girls meet at book club

This month we're reading Chandra Mayor's short stories "All the Pretty Girls." We've been on a streak lately of lesbian fiction with little to no actual lesbian content, so we're having some high hopes for this one. The sci- fi experiment was interesting. We had a couple of fans, and a couple of haters... the mixed bag always makes for good discussion. We tried to stretch the envelope looking for queer content but the gender neutral characters were all we could find. And they were creepy. Although some people wanted a diagram of way they mated because they couldn't visualize it... very amusing. If you find a diagram, illustration or some such? Send it, I'll post it! We also made a few adjustments to the reading list based on availability and stuff. Check the current reading list. We added Jewelle Gomez's The Gilda Stories due to one member's need for a story about a black lesbian vampire raised in a whorehouse. Ha! As always, we love request...
