Queer Stories From the Past

All of these books are queer, whether explicitly so or more written between the lines. I didn't set a specific cut-off year to define "the past", but the majority are pre-80s. Everything is pre-2000s. I haven't read the majority, but think of this list as a life project of mine. One day I hope to have read them all.
