Homosexual Literature

Hey guys, i'd love you forever if you could recommend some books that deal with homosexuality. (Homosexual author/character.) Uh to  kick start this thread, here's some queer lit that I recommend.

Oscar Wilde - complete works
Edward Carpenter - Iolaus
Book 12 of the Greek Anthology
Plato - The Symposium
E. M. Forster - Maurice
Shakespeare - Merchant of Venice
            - Twelfth Night
Marlowe - Edward 2nd
Jean Genet - Our Lady of the Flowers

If you could add to this list it would be awesome.

A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice was good.
I truthfully only picked it up because the author is Anne Rice's son, but it was seriously good, though a bit too angsty.

Fellow Travellers by T. C. Worsley (An epistolary novel based on Stephen Spender and his circle during the Spanish Civil War.)

Books on genreal. Cuz books are gay!

Also Christopher Isherwood.

Isn't the phrase 'Homosexual Literature' a redundancy?

Since OP asked about authors as well as characters, much of Stephen Fry's output might be relevant, including:
The Liar
The Hippopotamus
Making History
The Stars' Tennis Balls
Paperweight
Moab is my Washpot

I think heterosexual literature is a horrible undermined genre.

'Homosexual literature' is not a generic label, unless one is being extraordinarily semantically promiscuous.

The Well of Loneliness
Keeping it a Secret
Annie on my Mind

Anime on my Mind

Jeanette Winterson - not "lesbian literature" per se, but a lesbian author who writes really interesting novels, in which her sexuality is clearly one influence.  Her books - she writes children's literature as well as literary fiction for adults - are listed at http://www.jeanettewinterson.com/

Among lesser known authors, I very much enjoyed Faultline (Tallahassee, Florida : Naiad Press / London : The Women's Press 1982) by Sheila Ortiz Taylor;  and Helen Hodgman's Broken Words (London : Virago 1989) and J. E. Hardy's Stranger Than Fish (London : Onlywomen Press 1989) are not bad.

Also look out for Margaret Reynolds' The Sappho Companion (London : Chatto & Windus 2000;  Vintage 2001) - this traces the Nachleben of the Greek poet from antiquity to the end of the 20th century, and lesbian writers and characters inevitably get a look-in.

James Davidson's The Greeks and Greek Love (London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2007) might also be of interest - it's intended as a reappraisal of scholarship on homoeroticism in ancient Greece, and as such is flawed, but is written in a non-academic style (which has frustrated more than one academic reviewer).

It was more of a Fool→Fitz, though.
Also, I really loved both trilogies.

I would recommend Waterways by Kyell Gold. If you're a cool enough dude to look past the whole anthro setting.

Wow, this thread is [spoiler]GAY
