First come first serve, if more than one person is interested the first will be asked to send to the next when they're done, etc.:
The Medici Conspiracy: the illicit journey of looted antiquities, from Italy's tomb raiders to the world's greatest museums - with the full knowledge of the dealers and curators involved. Big on archaeology, scandal, and true crime.
Lost Souls - novel of an alienated teenager finding his way. Also, vampires :) Lambda award nominee in 1992. It's been years since I read this but the descriptions of how bleak adolescent life can be if you're weird resonated.
Sex With the Queen - readable, titillating and sometimes tragic social history. Hetero focus, alas, and while I disagree that Rasputin counts I still enjoyed.
