I never knew before that this month is Gay, Lesbian and Transgender History Month. This isn't much of a surprise - the movement still seems to be taking baby steps: gay activists rarely speak out against the things you'd think they would ie, the rising number of crimes against gays in London, and instead save comments for things such as newly christened beer brands ('Queer Beer' should be hitting the shelves later on this year) and uptight Scots who refuse to let gay couples share a room.

There is a lot of literature to be found out there and I am rather lucky in that my local library is fantastic and has too many books either by gay authors or about the gay community to put them all out on display.

So yes. There you have it. That's the month.

Having finished all the Iris Murdoch books I could find, I have now turned to George Orwell: 'Down and Out in Paris and London' is very, very good and very funny. I read 'Animal Farm' a while back, but I'm more interested in his essays than anything, though 1984 (?) is a must-read, according to my Orwell expert.

I am having the worst trouble with my Ancient Greek homework and my Religious Studies coursework.
