I would def have to add Confessions Of A Failed Southern Lady by Florence King to that list.

Seems to me that lots of books I pick up these days have queer characters. I picked up the Teahouse Fire by Ellis Avery because I heard such good things about it and it turned out the main character is a lesbian. Who knew? There are others, I just can't think of them now.

Absolutely anything by: T Cooper, Cherie Moraga, Michelle Tea, Felicia Luna Lemus, Octavia Butler, Jeanette Winterson, Eileen Myles, Carson McCullers.

I clicked on your link for the "Kyle's Bed & Breakfast" comic. The picture on its splash page made me wonder. Can the author eventually REMOVE stupid-ass tattoos from a character because he has the ability to edit it? Or, is he committed to keeping those awful tats permanent, just like in real life? Just wondering.

My favorite name from Faggots was "Yootha Truth".

Thomas Mann makes me cream my pants. His books, especially "The Magic Mountain," are delicious.

And I went to Publishing Triangle's list. "Little Women"? "To Kill a Mockingbird"? "The Turn of the Screw"? Did I not read these books closely enough?
