"Tales of the City" by Armistead Maupin.
Hands down one of the best books I read this year. Today I couldn't stop reading until I was finished. It's about a girl in the 1970's moving to San Francisco for the first time and her experiences.
Check it out if you're looking for something good to read and then let me know what you thought. It really captures the essence and feel of this crazy city better than any book I've read.
