I thought I would mention that I finished reading Armistead Maupin's book, Michael Tolliver Lives and I enjoyed it immensely. It was wonderful to read again about Mouse, Anna Madrigal, Mary Ann and all of the characters from Barbary Lane made famous in Maupin's six volumes of Tales of the City. While Maupin claims this book is not a continuation of ( Read more... )

It was a wonderful book! I loved it. I read it last year as soon as it was released. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I liked it a lot better than some of the last installments in the Tales of the City series itself.

I wasn't even aware the book had been written so I was really happy to hear about it.

Wow, I blogged about it a year ago when I finished reading it, and I'm almost certain that you commented on it. ;-)

Really? Hmmm I must have killed off the brain cell that held that bit of info with too much wine.

thank you so much for this review! (i've been meaning to pick up a copy of this book for quite some time now.) i think i'll go back and read the first six books again, and then dive into this one.

Haven't read Maybe the Moon but I did read Night Listener and saw the movie with Robin Williams. Can't say I cared for the book or movie that much. But I loved Michael Toliver Lives. I may go back and read all six Tales books as well.

I hope you enjoy the book.

Cool! i haven't read the books, but i did enjoy the series. i had a HUGE crush on Michael (from the original Tales of the City.) He was adorable and i loved him paired with William Campbell. i'll have to check out the books. Thanks :)

The series were great and the books that much better.

Good luck with the job search.

I need to go back through the series, too. And I'm glad you enjoyed the book, which I look forward to reading.

Also, your "current music" is a favorite.

Hey you. You've been awfully quiet. Hope all is well. :-)

All is well. Just been super busy. I'll try and email before heading back across the pond.
