Queer Classics: English Literature Edition
The queer agenda has taken over your English lesson, here is the compulsory reading list to make you disgustingly educated in queerness 🏳️🌈
Will keep updating the curriculum, CLASS IS IN SESSION 🔊
One Book Many Quests
Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?
Men Loving Men in Literary Fiction

Bleakness Is My Weakness
For when you need to wallow in melancholy and misery: a collection of pessimistic, cynical, downbeat, depressing, doom and gloom fiction for my disillusioned friends.

Widening the Canon: Diverse Classics
Inspired by some comments I saw regarding classics being too straight white male oriented. There are lots of classics that aren't, but unfortunately don't always get as much recognition. Hoping this list might help those interested expand their range of classics. Non-exhaustive and taking suggestions!
