The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years agoI started a new commute that involves one hour of reading time on the metro/bus instead of 30 minutes spent cursing traffic. So my books are in my bag… not on my nightstand. I think this still counts.
These are the books I’ve read so far…

Any gaymos in london?!? I need queer friends, I’m new to town, and I swear I’m not creepy.
-
me! I just moved here 3 weeks ago and need queer friends to go out with also!!
-
Are you back in london long-term then?
-
-
I move back there in a weekish, and some more queer friends would be good
-
I just moved here too (from the US), and I’m also not creepy and want friends!
-
Yeah- I’m here for at least a year – going to SOAS (I am guessing marjorie is there too, given you’re studying se asian islam!)
-
Oh wow, another SOASian! Let’s be friends!
-
I just joined AS after months of lurking just because I saw this thread, which may sound kinda creepy, but I swear I’m not either.
I’m new to London and would love to meet people too! :D I’m at LSE.
-
Awesome! Yeah – we are both at SOAS it would seem, but LSE is not far. What part of London are you living in?
-
Really nearby SOAS, actually! I spent more time there than at LSE in my first week of being in hall.
-
I AM AT LSE. I’ve lived here for 2 years now. It’s WONDERFUL.
-
If you were there last Fri afternoon, then we have met!
-
No fecking way, yeah I was! Go to the AGM this Thursday and vote for ROB for LGBT PRESIDNET.
Hangon I’ll PM you haha!-
president even.

I have this issue too. Hey, The Ghetto is opening again in January and I remember it being pretty much the best gay thing in London when I was here before I went to uni. We could have that as like a new year’s resolution :)
-
I live just outside london :D
-
I’ve just moved to London after the gayest year of my life in Leeds, and I totally need gay friends. I’ve not seen an alternative lifestyle haircut in weeks. I’m in South London

Hey, anyone from Cambridge here? I’ve been living here since a month and I don’t know anyone outside of work. Also, since I’ve only just realised I’m gay, like, yesterday, I totally need to find people of the same persuasion ;).
-
I’m from Cambridge!!
-
me three. Maybe there could be actually enough people for a cambridge meetup?
-
That would be so cool. How many people are enough? So that it’s not too awkward, initally :). I’m all for it.
-
I dunnoo but really when I say I’m from Cambridge I mean really I’m moving back to London in like 3 days for Uni sooo do not count on my presence.
HOWEVER since all the lesbians are smart and awesome and Cambridge is smart and awesome and and autostraddle attracts smart and awesome I feel there should be an abundance of (smart and awesome)…[Read more] -
Oh, damn. It would make total sense if there were lots of Cambridge-Straddlers. Hope they will turn up here, because I don’t know if there’s any place in the city where they flock to IRL. Granted, we have a vegetarian/vegan place called The Rainbow Cafe here, but that seems a little to obvious ;).
-
They’re everywhere. Seriously! I would suggest sitting on the wall oustide King’s on a sunny autumn afternoon and just people watching.
There are lots of lesbians at my gym (Greens). Gay ladies everywhere! Ok maybe I’m exaggerating haha :)
The Rainbow Cafe is good though :) Also there’s a cute cafe called Indigo nearby, go there :) And also The…[Read more]-
I have seen a few lesbians while strolling through town, but always in couples. Well, probably mainly because my gaydar isn’t very well calibrated yet, especially since british girls are overall a little different from the german girls I’m used to ;).
Thanks for the tips, I might check the places out :). I actually found the Dot Cotton Club online…[Read more]

I’m from Cambridge, and my parents and all my stuff still lives there so if people were doing a meetup I would totally come, because I swear this gay women in Cambridge is a myth or something because I’ve never been able to find people
-
I used to live in Cambridgeshire but have moved to Leicestershire for university, however I’d go to a Cambridge Autostraddle meetup on the train =)
-
-
This is super late, but I just moved to the Cambridge area and kind of in the same boat as you :)
-
Damn, that is really late, I’m leaving for Germany on Wednesday. I’ll be back in October… I hope you have a good time here :).

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 1 month agoHas any one read any David Markson? Reading Vanishing Point right now, trying to unlock whatever the hell he is getting at…
-
I read Wittgenstein’s Mistress, which was lovely and really thought-provoking, but nothing else. What’s Vanishing Point like? I’d be interested in reading more of his books.
-
I read and loved Wittgenstein’s Mistress, it managed to both completely engage me, and make me feel completely insane. Vanishing point is slight more coherent and cohesive, which isn’t saying much, but it’s kind of along the same lines. It’s a much quicker read. Highly recommended.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 1 month agoAny Jane Austen fans here? I’m reading all her books for a class I’m taking this semester. Pretty excited, I’d already read Pride and Prejudice and was eager to read more from her. Currently about halfway through Sense and Sensibility.
