Sorry, I'm getting distracted by like three different convos I have going on.
I think I said that before, but no, I definitely don't think him being homophobic affects his books being good. But if you have Speaker for the Dead, I'll definitely borrow it. (Thooouugghhh it might be awhile until you get it back...)
And sorry, I didn't mean to say the hypothetical book was bad, when you clearly said it was good. hurf durf. If the book is good, it should speak for itself, but it clearly doesn't imply that the author is necessarily as good. I mean, I kinda hate to pull Godwin's Law, but people seem to take enough interest in reading Mein Kampf, at least for curiosity's sake, and he was clearly not a great guy. Haven't read it though, so I can't say how good it is, but I will say I am curious to read it. =) I'm a sucker for learning what I don't know.
Also, I will also be borrowing AP assuming you haven't sold it back to the bookstore. I loved the movie and I'm at least interested in the book, though if it reads anything like a history book I will probably not make it through the first two chapters, lol. BUT then again I have a really high tolerance for graphic stuff (even though I'm a flincher) so that's just another angle in its favor, I guess. I mean ffs my favorite jokes are dead baby jokes. =P
