Criteria for choosing books
Our usual criterion is that it is a book written about gay people and/or by a gay author.
For the benefit of those who have recently joined us, if you have any suggestions, it helps if you
a) have checked that they easily available, and in sufficient quantities, preferably on the UK Amazon website (some members prefer to wait until a book is in paperback)
b) check that it isn’t a book that we have done before, or at least not in the past four years – you can refer to

c) prepare something to say that might persuade the group to vote for your book(s)
The London group insist that anyone making a suggestion must have read the book and have a copy of it with them at the meeting to pass round. We don’t do ‘rules’ as such but that shows that we aren’t that strict!
