Another 100 Best Books list

The New York Times is out with its list of the "100 Best Books of the 21st Century." (Technically, five of the books don't qualify because they were published in 2000, the last year of the 20th century, but I guess "100 Best Books of the 2000s" isn't as resonant a title.) We gays did reasonably well in terms of representation, with six books by LGBTQ writers and another five books with prominent gay characters/storylines. And our merry band has discussed four of them: Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides; A Brief History of Seven Killings, by Marlon James; Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel; and The Line of Beauty, by Alan Hollinghurst. Anyway, check it out!
