In Andrew Holleran’s “Dancer from the Dance”, we visit 70s, pre-epidemic New York City gay life. Reading stories of a world without HIV, it makes you realise (again) how huge the stigma is, even today, after more than 25 years of the virus being managable and non-transmittable.

The novel hailed as “Great Gatsby for 70s”, so now I’ll do the opposite and read Great Gatsby. Let’s see if it’ll be “Dancer from the Dance for 20s” for me.

So my yearly book reads are about typical for me. Only about one per month -- since I don't read any times other than my lunch hours and in doctor's waiting rooms and ERs/Hospitals (my husband is complicated that way).
