I love Stranger in a Strange Land. It's an odd book for sure, but every time I read it I feel like I notice something new, or connect some piece of it to the real world.

Buffy AND Charmed-she played a woman on Charmed who was cursed with bad luck by evil guys who were mad at the good she was doing.

Not that I remember…for some reason, the GLBT center at my college had a huge selection of terrible lesbian-themed spy novels and mysteries, so I read a lot of trashy lesbian novels. I vaguely remember something about snowboarding in one of the Jane Bond novels, and I remember it not being great.

No joke, I once read a lesbian spy novel where the protagonist was Jane Bond, James Bond's sister.
