The Bi Book Club meets once a month to discuss bi-themed books and the issues they raise. Dinner after nearby.

The Summer of Sex: Our book for August is Memoirs of a Gigolo by Livia Ellis, Omnibus Vol. 1-4 on sale at BGSQD. In this collected omnibus edition of the first four e-books in the series, you'll learn why Oliver turns to a life as a male escort when he is a titled English Lord (and a tabloid favorite). Follow him as he travels the globe (Tokyo, Bangkok, etc.) bedding a Latin pop star, two princesses, and a beautiful Russian fellow escort as charming and duplicitous as himself. This book has a very humorous tone. You won't want to stop reading.

Pick out some phrases, paragraphs or scenes that you'd like to discuss, or just join in on our read-a-long. Last month we had a blast reading bisexual scenes from our erotic romance book out loud with everyone taking different roles. Give us your critique of the book. What worked, what didnt, how was bisexuality represented? If you havent had time to finish the readings, come anyway because we read passages from the book aloud for discussion. As usual, we'll also be using the text as a jumping off point to further discussion of bisexual issues and personal experiences.

Deciding Books: We will be voting on what book we want to read next, so check the list of Bisexual Book Award finalists (http://www.biwriters.org/bi-book-awards-finalists/) for some ideas.

Venue: Bureau of General Services Queer Division (http://bgsqd.com/) Bookstore at the LGBT Center, 2nd fl. Rm. 210, phone (646) 457-0859.

Getting Books: We urge you to purchase your print copy at BGSQD and support the only LGBT bookstore in New York City. Especially since they are hosting us in their space! Recognize is now in stock!

Bi Book Club meets 4th Thursdays 6:30-8pm. Dinner after nearby.
