the just read/reading/on deck pile of books by my bed:
chelsea girls, eileen myles (2 bucks at goodwill yesterday)
beebo brinker, ann bannon (a friend gave it away while moving- finally reading- or rereading, maybe?)
the issue is power, melanie kaye/kantrowitz (pulled out to consult)
who's your daddy? and other writings on queer parenting, ed rachel epstein (bought it new! worth it.)
indenture and exile: the indo-caribbean experience, ed frank birbalsingh (lent by a friend; necessary to read because i keep eating indo-trini food in my neighborhood and wondering about the history)
encore, may sarton (from moving friend #2: not tremendously interesting yet; it's her journal at age 80 and mostly about her flower garden so far)
dancer from the dance, andrew holleran (gay classic; really about nyc; and very good)
among schoolchildren, tracy kidder (moving friend #2, again, dated but worthwhile thus far)
sacred games, vikram chandra (read half of it on vacation two months ago and it is finally returned to me! a good solid complicated novel.)
so gay! i suppose it's the season. also a nice balance between novels and otherwise.
