This review is from: The Gay Book of Days: An Evocatively Illustrated Who's Who of Who Is, Was, May Have Been, Probably Was, and Almost Certainly Seems to Have Been Gay During the Past 5000 Years (Paperback)

Excellent and funny book with a lot of illustrations. I purchased it about 10 years ago in USA with Jim Kepner's "Becoming a people..." and Terry Boughner's "Out of All Time". They are very nice and intersting volumes. In these books, however, we can find only the occidental people with few exceptions ; e.g. Mishima Yukio, Suleiman . Though English has become nowadays as if a kind of LINGUA FRANCA , I don't understand why the English speaking people still have such a narrow-minded thinking. I'd like to read more international, global and comprehensive books.

PS : Noel I. Garde's "Jonathan to Gide : The Homosexual in History" also is a very intersting book of "The Gay-people's List" , although it is on the westerners including some Oriental men like Abu Nuwas and Saladin.
