Oh, "Night Watch" sounds wonderful.

I remember really enjoying "Tipping the Velvet". I read "Affinity", which though it had a depth of character study and genuine moments of originality, I found it very depressing. I think it's time for me to revisit the work of Ms. Waters.

With her style being so meticulous in terms of research, I am surprised she didn't make more effort to show the lives of gay men with the same detail as lesbians.

I haven't belonged to a book club in years. When I lived in New Hampshire, I went to a women's book group which was a strange mix of self-described feminists and ladies who had primarily read mystery novels and found the book choices a little out of their comfort zone. I'll give the latter members credit for reading the material. I am going to check in and see if there are any book clubs at the independent bookstore in town.
