We had an excellent turnout for our lively discussion of Randy Shilts' And the Band Played On last week (13, including two first-timers--welcome!). Philip Clark brought along a book that came out last year but I somehow missed: Andrew E. Stoner's The Journalist of Castro Street: The Life of Randy Shilts. It sounds like a strong candidate for our next reading list, so I've ordered it.
Several attendees also cited Shilts' last book, published the year before his death, as one we should read: Conduct Unbecoming: Lesbians and Gays in the U.S. Military, Vietnam to the Persian Gulf. (We've already read his other major work, The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk.)
