Welcome Elizabth! Check out our bookshelf, and add your own faves, too!Ted
It's wonderful that we have some other Sondheim lovers. My favorites are A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, and Company. What a master!
Welcome Ivan. Have been enjoying your comments in "What is LGBT fiction?" Hope you'll continue to be an active contributor to the group!
That's awesome. May I ask how old you are?
Yes, Ivan. One book leads to another. ANs books lead to freinds. Would you care to reveal who "we" are, this magical group you belong to?
My persective is this: we are everywhere and we always have been. If the thrust of a novel deals with gay characters snd relationships, then it's a "gay novel." On the other hand, just because you're a gay author (or reader) doens't necessaily mean that ou have an agenda, as if that's all your life is about.
Ivan wrote: "I belong to an LGBT Book Group here in Tallahassee - we've been meeting for ten years (almost) and our rule has always been: books by or about gay people - simple as that."So, is "LGBT fiction" what a publisher says it is or a category in its own right? By your definition, an historial novel by Gore Vidal, having nothing to do with sexuality at all, is LGBT?

I know the answer, but does anybody else?
Bingo!This statue is reproduction of a statue of Alexander the Great found in his native city of Pella, the capital of ancient Macedonia.
Your turn, Wilbert.
Nope.
Naw, this is an easy one!
Got it! W. Somerset Maugham

Hemingway?
Welcome, Widyoseno!
I meant in terms of physique -- a stereotype I suppose, for which I apologize!
Thanks, Dale. They all look like naked bikers. LOL
