I have several going at once:

Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Begins with a series of deaths but is at heart a love story.

Watership Down Rabbits on a journey to a new home. We'll see how this goes, as I generally don't want to see/read any violence to animals.

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Very British sense of humor (the author is British, after all), but I laughed from the first page.

Three books from my library that one might be interested in.

"Female Masculenity" by Jack Halberstam

"Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg concerning being lesbian in 50'-60's-70's
(I went to Buffalo to see one of her speeches and was very impressed. I met her and we spent time going over her own history) She passed in 2014 after having trans herself .

"Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold", by E.L. Kennedy. concerning the evolution of the lesbian community in Buffalo N.Y. from the 1930's to the 1960's.

I am better than half way through "In the Company of Crows and Ravens." I love this book. Concerning the comparison of these two magnificent birds and their intelligence beyond what had been expected before extensive research.

I have a full size statue of a crow atop my bookcase in my living room. Have had it for years. I have a number of books on different animal species but crow and ravens are my favorite. Good reading to understand other creatures in our world.

I'm so glad to know you were able to spend time with Leslie. I did too a couple of brief times, It sounds like you got to experience more in depth conversation together than I ever experienced. I actually introduced Leslie to speak at an event in I think 1996. There were no applicable pronouns and I stayed up all night writing out what to say. I got to meet Minnie Bruce too. She was so kind. We had met at NYC Pride earlier that year and had only been emailing previous to that to coordinate an event. Email was not what it is now so when we talked and Leslie was like... "Hey I just emailed you this morning" I about died.

I too found Leslie so interesting and knowledgeable concerning years of experience in the gay community. I only wished she had written more books. I would like to have seen her again although we spent good time and I have several pics of us together. I always thing of how she signed my book.. with memories of Stonewall.
