2018 reading challenge: a book with an LGBT+ protagonnist

A Quilt Is Meant To Keep You Warm: Humor, Love and Misadventure in the Age of AIDS by M.J. Hobbs

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have known Mike for over 2 decades (though whether or not he could pick me out of a line up I'm not sure). But I followed his blog for a while and loved all the little stories he used to post about his younger years. I was very excited when he announced he was publishing a book.

This is a very poignant book of vignettes of a young gay man coming of age in the the early days of AIDS. Many stories just made me giggle and down right laugh (though I could never compete with Mike's infectious laughter). And there were some that made me cry. Just what I want from a memoir.

I greatly recommend this book.
