The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet is Shakespeare turned topsy turvy: a bisexual love-triangle inspired by Shakespeare′s own sonnets, featuring a sexy young Hamlet. Very readable--no olde English. We're discussing the second half of this book in April.

Come and join the discussion, even if you haven't read the book, because we read paragraphs from the book aloud and discuss them.

Note: The Shakespeare Sonnets, and Shakespeare, were bisexual.

Next book: A Winter in Rome by Francis Gideon, Less Than Three Press. Get your copy from BGSQD coming in by Wed Apr 6 or Thurs Apr 7.

Deciding Books: We will be voting on what books we want to read next, so check our lists of Bisexual Book Award finalists (http://www.biwriters.org/book-award-finalists-winners/) 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! If they are out of stock, put in your special order.

Bi Book Club meets 2nd Thursdays 6:30-8pm. Dinner after nearby-we usually go to Village Den on Greenwich Ave behind the Center.
