You too ;-) Elisa

Of all them I only own "Giovanni's Room", I agree it's a great book. It's very sad...it had quite an effect on me as I was reading it.

I've seen the DVD around of "Angels In America", but i haven't bothered with it.

Brent's list is mainly Young Adult, that is of course what also he writes. I think that, if you are interested in this genre, you can pick various interesting hints from his list. Elisa

ooh, a movie of Geography Club in the works? Sweet!

Yes, that is a very good news indeed. Elisa

Giovanni's Room is in my top ten. It's right up there with DANCER FROM THE DANCE. Good post.

Yes, indeed. Ryan, I asked you if you wanted to compile a list, didn't I? The last months as you know were "odd" so, obviously, if I haven't, the offer is open, when and if you want to do an Inside Reader post, just let me know. Elisa

I will. Thanks. There are a few classics I think all fans of LGBT fiction should read, and will enjoy reading.

You are welcome. I noticed that, even if it's nice to read list with "familiar" books, what readers really like is to find out about books they didn't know, or maybe forgot.
