Favorite Reads of 2011

Just a day and half to get out a few lists of my favorite reads from the past year. And I've decided to break them down into three lists: LGBT Books, Horror Books, and Overall Reads (all my favorites regardless of genre). I know many of you have food to cook, parties to plan, bar-hopping routes to MapQuest so I'll dive right in with the first list....
