Queer Booklist

One goal I have for this quarter is to create reading lists for myself, so when I graduate I will have a list of academic books I'm excited about. With that in mind, I compiled a list of queer books I want to read as a start. First, I found this list of "the now canonical texts of queer theory within the U.S. academy" in Douglas Crimp's Melancholia and Moralism:

- Butler, Judith. Gender Trouble and Bodies that Matter.
- Edelman, Lee. Homographesis.
- Fuss, Diana. Inside / Outside.
- Halperin, David. 100 Years of Homosexuality and Saint Foucault.
- Sedgwick, Eve Kosofsky. Epistemology of the Closet and Tendencies.
- Warner, Michael. Fear of a Queer Planet.

I've read Gender Trouble and Saint Foucault, though I read SF before I read any Foucault or any queer theory, so I could stand to read it again.

I sat down with Google Books and a bunch of names I've come across in my reading to find the following list of other books I'm interested in:

Butler, Judith. Undoing Gender.

Week, Jeffrey:
- Sexuality and Its Discontents
- Between the Acts
- Against Nature
- Invented Moralities
- Making Sexual History
- Same Sex Intimacies: Families of Choice and Other Life

Bersani, Leo. Homos.

Patton, Cindy.
- Inventing AIDs
- Sex and Germs: Politics of AIDs
- Globalizing AIDs
- Fatal Advice

Edelman, Lee.
- Homographesis
- No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive

Rubin, Gayle. Misguided, Dangerous, and Wrong.

D’Emilio, John.
- The World Turned
- Making Trouble

Delaney, Samuel. Time Square Red, Time Square Blue.

Duggan, Lisa.
- Our Monica, Ourselves.
- Sex Wars.
- The Invention of Heterosexuality.

Somerville, Siobhan. Queering the Color Line.

Shah, Nayan. Contagious Divides.

Boag, Peter. Same-Sex Affairs: Constructing and Controlling Homosexuality in the Pacific Northwest.


I'm not sure yet how to collect the citations for books I want to read. I want to be able to tag them. I found librarything.com, where you can create a catalog of books and tag them. I haven't used it enough yet to see if I like it. Another idea I had was to create a blog in blogger and make a post for each book I'm interested in, which would allow me to tag them as well as add information about why I'm interested in it.

Let me know if you have any reading suggestions!
