How Beautiful the Ordinary: Twelve Stories of Identity by David Levithan, Michael Cart, Francesca Lia Block
5.0
Ages 14+ (sex, sex, and sex)
I adore, I adore, I adore. Of course, that may just be the afterglow of Gregory Maguire's modern homage to Brokeback Mountain. But even without that, this is a well rounded collection of what it means to be gay, lesbian, or transgender from a series of great authors. (Julie Ann Peters, your offering was almost PWP, I never expected!) As of this note, Margo Lanagan's is the only story I haven't read, but her style has never suited me. For gay folks, straight folks, and everyone in between.
