Toft would like to improve modern literature

[ineptshieldmaid]

we were having a conversation in the pub the other day that started with, I think, an amusing story of an undergraduate essay involving a queer reading that didn't quite make it (which sadly is not mine to tell online), and ended with a discussion about how every great book and film title can be improved no end by substituting a noun for the word 'lesbian'. Think about it! The Lesbian of Wildfell Hall! Pride and Lesbians! The Lesbian in the Rye! A Tale of Two Lesbians! Hard Lesbians! Lady Chatterley's Lesbian! Portrait of the Artist as a Young Lesbian! Die Hard with a Lesbian! (Best queer film about two girls who get together after meeting in a fabric workshop they both take in an attempt to sort out their lives: Dye Hard with a Lesbian). Anyway, those are all books I'd read/films I'd see. Note to large bookstore chains everywhere.

Context includes the Fifteen Oooes of Christ, and the union of reasoned critique and tentacle porn

What have I read recently...

The Lesbian Queen or the Snow Lesbian? Which is better?

The Mislaid Lesbian (sequel to The Grand Lesbian, in the same series as Lesbian and Cecilia)

Here at work I have The Mysterious Lesbian by Mark Twain (in case I need something to read at lunchtime) and a Guide to Lesbian Repair.
