10 books that have stayed with me

NAKED CIVIL SERVANT - my favourite queer autobiography. FEMALE EUNUCH - essential reading in the 70s - a manifesto of women's lib. 1984 - comment not required. FAMOUS LAST WORDS - my favourite Findley novel. Complex, exciting, accessible. GOOD TIMES/BAD TIMES - my introduction to the funny, sad world of James Kirkwood. (I've read it 3 or 4 times.) PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE - a bestseller in early 70s. Bisexual aristocracy, Bloomsbury, open marriage, Edwardian and onward epochs - what's not to love? INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE -I read it the month it debuted and was knocked out. GONE WITH THE WIND - rousing entertainment, that's all. DANCER FROM THE DANCE - for me, it's the best "gay" pre-AIDS novel. I didn't live in New York, and I wasn't as "hot" as the protagonist Malone, but I did come out in the mid-70s and could relate to the story. (I've read this one at least four times.) WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP - a singular achievement. I remain a big fan of Irving.
