Advice from Cher Horowitz from the classic film Clueless: "You should read one non-school book a week." This advice applies not only to high school girls, but also to lesbians, queers, gay ladies. The LA Gay Lady Book Club is for women who want to read one cool book a month, and we'll be taking suggestions on what to read from the club's members. The books we read may or may not be lesbian/queer themed, but the Ladies who attend probably will be ;) (gay/lesbian/bi/queer, trans family welcome) Re …

Do you love reading books such as "Confessions of a Shopaholic", "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "The Devil Wears Prada"? Do you love reading books covered with shoes, fashion and funky female cartoons? Then you are probably a chick lit lover! Although not the most sophisticated of genres these types of books are fun, humorous and relate to most of our everyday lives. Not all of us are interested in reading the classics and that's okay because this club is for women ages 20-infinite that want to mee …

If you'd like to make a commitment to reading more AND you've been dying to try out some of the fabulous bars, restaurants and cute little coffee shops and tea rooms LA has to offer, this is the book club for you! I'm planning on alternating between American classics one month, to modern literature the next to keep a good balance. This book club IS a democracy though, so all suggestions are welcome and will be voted upon!

The New York Review of Books has a Book Club selecting a fiction classic each month. I'd like to get together with other displaced Easterners (or those in spirit) in the La Jolla area once a month to discuss the latest NYRB selection - accompanied by California wine, to be fair to both coasts.

A gathering of like mind …
