Unboundaries Top 100 Gay Novels

[reviews_and_ramblings]

After I posted my Top 100 Gay Novels List, with its rules and limit, the more strict the one that consider only XXI century titles and authors, one of the author in the list thanked me to be included, but he said that there was others and more important books that deserve to be nominated, and maybe I can draw an all time list, without any limit...
