Reading list: Finished the "On the Road" audiobook. Will Patton did an incredible job of bringing the characters to life in a way my teen self never could. (Verdict: I think audiobooks are a great alternative in certain situations. My brother Terence told me he wanted to hear Frank McCourt tell the story of "Angela’s Ashes" and "'Tis" -- and now I do, too.) Then I finished reading "Gay Bar: Why We Went Out," which (for better or worse) wound up being a little more about why the author and his partner went out than a general look at why gay people crave our own spaces. Also polished off Molly Shannon's memoir, detailing the car accident that left her without a mother and down a sister and cousin. (God, she's a doll!) Next up: Thinking of finally starting Erik Piepenburg's look at gay restaurants, "Dining Out." Let me know if you've read it and what you thought.

I think some books are better as audiobooks. Autobiographies read by the author. Fairly recent examples: Harvey Fierstein reading I WAS BETTER LAST NIGHT, Mel Brooks reading ALL ABOUT ME! and Barbra Streisand reading MY NAME IS BARBRA (which has a lot of food related sides that are not in print).
