Yay! Glad you're joining. :)
Amanda - Its a great challenge - I had the list all finished for awhile but not published yet so I'm live now....not sure how to change the mr linky link on your site so it directs to this specific page though? perhaps not that important.
Thanks.
I'm not sure how some of those books fit the GLBT themes. (I'm talking about Macbeth, Frankenstein, Moby Dick, Interview with a Vampire, and Metamorphosis.) Granted, I've not read Moby Dick or Interview, but I've seen the movies and have seen no problems. The others I've read and can't understand.
Logan - thanks for the comment. I was thinking the same thing, when I decided to read these books. I do know that there are lists on the web that are compiled for this particular theme. So either the author is GLBT or the book has some themes within the book which are specific to the the GLBT community. I do know that these things are not as apparent to those of whom are straight. But granted it does make some of the reading very interesting. It will be interesting to see when I read them. If I can get through them.
