This was very interesting, Jerry - and I enjoyed your Medium post too. Interesting you mentioned Tales of the City, we've go a post coming this month with Nan Tepper's discussion of it for The Books We ❤️ Club. :)
Oh, that's great to know. Funny enough, I've never been thrilled by the actual writing of the Tales books. Maybe because it was originally serialized in the SF Chronicle or because it's so breezy... but I love the bonds of the characters and the soap opera gets pretty wild as you continue down the path. I've read all 6 of the original series but know that it's expanded beyond those core books.
It's also become one of those books I will buy whenever I see a version in a used book store. As if I'm "rescuing" it. SO I have different covers, sizes, etc.
