Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, and in the vein of gay/lesbian fiction of possible interest: Stonewall Mystery Press released (oh, 20 years ago now) "Sherlock Holmes and the Mysterious Friend of Oscar Wilde".
I think it's very true-to-the-voice, but Holmes starts off as a RAGING homophobe (including pulling a gun on Wilde), and slowly thaws throughout. Especially after Mrs. Hudson points out the OBVIOUS implications of Dr. Watson hanging around Baker Street so much...
(And it's an entertaining read.)
