I am reading The Great Documents of Western Civilization, it's one of those books that sat on my self for many years and I just never got around to reading it...
I’ve just started Death of a Ghost by Margery Allingham; I was on Catch-22 but I’m not really enjoying it so I’m going to give that a break and read something else
Just finished ManBug and Calypso (via audio), both very enjoyable reads and both well-suited to the Queereaders audience. Now listening to The Liar's Dictionary.
I've been reading The Books of Earthsea , just finished The Tombs of Atuan, it's the second book in the series so I'm starting The Farthest Shore soon.

I'm listening to Coroner's Pidgin these days myself. Have you read Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory?

Hi John, I have not read that one but from looking at the description of the book and the reviews i may give it a go, it sounds really good!
I am reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. It was recommended it me after enjoying Midnight Library.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I finished Death of a Ghost now I am just starting The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and also alongside that Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
I read True Love Bites which I'd definitely recommend :) it's a fantasy novel with bi and poly protagonists
rereading margery kempe by robert glück
Just starting Tell me a secret by Jane Fallon
I’m starting a few comics, but I just picked up “The Deviant’s War: The Homosexual vs The United States of America” by Eric Cervini

It didn't change my mind, but now at least I can honestly say I've read it.
I am now close to finishing Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century by Hunter S. Thompson.
DNF’ed Tell me a secret I just wasn’t really feeling it so stopped reading that one Moving onto The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Also decided to start the mirror and the light by Hilary Mantel
I am currently reading History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera.
I am finishing - hopefully today! - Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. It is indeed a very good book even if the family saga part is way more interesting than the story of the main character, in my opinion. Still it is a great read.Next in my reading list: In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado.
I've finished Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I liked it, quite a lot actually, even if in the end it is not really the story of an intersex person.And I have just started In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado and the first impression is extremely positive.
I've just started Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York by Elon Green.

Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
I have finished In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. Quite a read.Now something totally different: Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon. A book I bought based on a mention in a Goodreads review of The Sluts. So far so good.
My review of the novel High as the Waters Rise, which may... or may not, be LGBT? https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Science of Sci-Fi: From Warp Speed to Interstellar Travel by Erin Macdonald. It's starting slowly for me, since it presupposes that the reader has no physics background.
Finished The Book Thief and now moving onto They both due at the end by Adam Silvera which should take me into May
I've been wrapped up in Thinking, Fast and Slow this month, a group read for work. I am hoping to finish in the next couple days. I finished the well-written, well-researched Trans Medicine: The Emergence and Practice of Treating Gender earlier this month. My review.
