"Chick lit" is a term used to describe a genre of fiction that is written and marketed to young women. The genre especially targets young single, working women in their twenties and thirties; however the genr …

If you live near North Scottsdale or North Phoenix and have homeschooled children between the ages of 6 and 11, then this group …

This is a group for men interested in serious gay literature: Edmund White, Marcel Proust, Andre Gide, that sort of thing. As the founder, I'm equally interested in literature about homosexuality as a theme or experience and in literature by homosexual men regardless of whether the work itself takes homosexuality as a focus.
