| 1. |  | Michael Tolliver Lives: A Novel from HarperCollins Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  While I enjoyed reading the Barbary Street stories, and was happy to see this book had been written, I was very disappointed in it. Rather than an update about the great people who lived on Barbary Street in the stories, it was mostly a pornographic memoir of Michael Tolliver. I don't recommend it. |

| 2. |  | Tales of the City: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.86 Customer Review:  Who am I to review this man's writings? Still, it's fun to be asked to share my ignorance. Many books, by todays' authors, are touted as being hysterically funny, etc. Unfortunately, for me, I find that although I am said to have an excellent sense of humor, these fall rather flat well before the... |

| 3. |  | The Berlin Stories from New Directions Price: $10.85 Customer Review:  I feel as if the contents of this novel have been thoroughly addressed. Therefore I will address one thing and one thing alone: style. Mr. Isherwood is a man with style. The numerous new authors and avant-garde emerging today rarely care about sentence crafting; they merely create sentences as short... |

| 4. |  | More Tales of the City (Showtime Tie-In Edition) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.86 Customer Review:  The chapter "Letter to Mama" is a must read for anyone grappling with gay/lesbian issues. I am reading Saturday Night Crisis Lines by Robert Harrison which discusses these issues in detail and in real life circumstances on the crisis hotlines of a big city suicide and crisis center, an easy read but... |

| 5. |  | Significant Others from Harper Perennial Price: $13.47 Customer Review: Armistead Maupin is a famously misplaced Southern writer. Mary Ann is a talk show hostess. Brian Hawkins is her husband. The couple and their daughter, Shawna, have moved from Anna Madrigal's 28 Barbary Lane rental to the Summit. Brian asks Mrs. Madrigal if his nephew Jed may stay in his old... |

| 6. |  | Michael Tolliver Lives (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I know it's cliche; but I laughed, I cried, I finished this book within 24 hours (if not for work, I would have read this in one setting.) There are some truly magical reasons for living in SF, and Mr. Maupin not only embodies these ideas, but he's able to write, share, and remind us what they are.... |

| 7. |  | Sure of You (Tales of the City Series, V. 6) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: The Tales of The City series comes to a bittersweet, and for some devoted fans of the series, startling conclusion with Sure Of You. Maupin does have his characters and the readers who have grown to love them face some hard truths. Dramatic changes occur and old bonds are broken, but after all the... |

| 8. |  | Further Tales of the City (Tales of the City Series, V. 3) from Harper Perennial Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Further tales of the City jumps forward a few years from More Tales of the City, but most of our favourite characters are still there; the residents of 28 Barbary Lane; Anna Madrigal's children. The improbable events and unlikely coincidences continue with unabated abandon, but this is part of the... |

"Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys: True Tales of Love, Lust, and Friendship Between Straight Women and Gay Men", Dutton, 2007. Bonding Amos Lassen and Literary Pride The new book with the long title has just as much information as the title... |

| 10. |  | Babycakes (Tales of the City Series, V. 4) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: A lot of readers consider this the beginning of the darker "Tales" books, but that's only half-true. "Babycakes" does go into darker territory, reflecting the changes happening in San Francisco, but the following book in the "Tales" series, "Significant Others" is lighter and has some classic... |

| 11. |  | Back to Barbary Lane: The Final Tales of the City Omnibus from HarperCollins Customer Review: I previously reviewed the first omnibus of Tales of the City (see my reviews). I had already read the first three novels and read the first omnibus as a re-visitation. I had not read the three novels that are a part of this compilation previously but I really wanted to take the time to do so as I am... |

| 13. |  | Maybe the Moon: A Novel from Harper Perennial Price: $11.90 Customer Review: I was given this book by my mother who knows I love Maupin's writing. What I don't think either of us knew is that once I starting turning the pages on this great book, I could not put it down and I stayed up all night reading about this character that touched my heart. I was so pleasantly... |

| 14. |  | 28 Barbary Lane: A "Tales of the City" Omnibus from HarperCollins Customer Review: I read the "Tales of the City", "More Tales of the City", and "Further Tales of the City" when they were originally published. After receiving this omnibus as a gift it sat on my shelf for several years as I had no interest because I had already read them. I recently read an article on Armistead... |

| 15. |  | Michael Tolliver Lives CD from HarperAudio Price: $24.82 Customer Review: One would think that after so many years, one might lose enthusiasm for a set of characters who were created in the late 70s and faded in and out through the 80s and early 90s. If one thought this, one would be wrong. Armistead Maupin once again allows us into the lives of his beloved Tales of the... |

| 16. |  | Gay by the Bay: A History of Queer Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area from Chronicle Books Price: $19.46 Customer Review: This well researched book is also quite entertaining. While I bought it for its scholorship, it also serves as a nice "coffee table" book. Guests in my home enjoy thumbing through its many illustrations. This is a MUST HAVE. |

Set in the framework of a literary mystery, it concentrates on a middle-aged author's obsession with a teenager, an AIDS patient, who may or may not... |
