I'd like to know some good lesbian books, fiction or non-fiction. But I prefer recent ones to republished stuff from way back. Authors would be helpful as well or even publishing companies.

Try "What Sappho would have said", Four centuries of love poems between women. Edited by Emma Donoghue. This elegant work has a history linking the poems, biographies of the authors and bibliography.
The poems range from sad and tender to shockingly funny "For Wyllice"from memory.
Publisher Hamish Hamilton
Sorry I can not recall the pub. date [fairly recent] or ISBN.
If you need them, let me know off line through the em contact. I would need to look it up in the library.
Kind regards, Rose P.

Try something by Sarah Waters. She writes very well, and develops complex characters and a complex plot. She's a fiction writer so romance is treated as another integral part of the story. Her stuff's not pulp.

This is a great website with all kinds of up to date new lesbian books. I order from them all the time, and do yourself a favor, check out the bella after dark section. It's excellent.

Here's a great GLBT book club. Yes, it's a book club, but it doesn't require you purchase "so many" books per year or anything. There's no "MUST RETURN OR GET SENT STUFF YOU DON"T WANT" card, only a "return if you're ordering only" card.
Fiction, mystery, biographies, political, history, self help...etc...
All books geared towards the GLBT community.

The Whole Lesbian Sex Book
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9781573441995&itm=1
I skimmed through it in the store. I intend to buy it as soon as I can. It's very informative about sex and relationships (it comes with illustrations for sex tips) and gave me great ideas. Who needs a penis???

Try the Bible, it will help you to be free. I have a gay sister-is-law, whom I love and always will, so don't say I'm gay bashing, but this generation that I'm part of has bought and believed a lie. Best wishes.
