Hi!

Peter Cameron's book Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You is also incorrectly listed under One Day This Pain Will Be Useful to You.

Thanks for putting this great list together!

Wow! What a list! Maybe it's too old to be considered, but William Slater's Interstellar Pig should really be on that list. I'm not so sure about its "literary qualifications," but it's a great read. Another good one and new is "Queen Geeks in Love" by Laura Preble. Reading about the characters just made me laugh, as I can completely see my niece as one of the goth girls.
