I'm reading a YA called Doing It by British author Melvin Burgess about doing it. I'm not sure why I have this book, but it is well written and Melvin has a great understanding of teenagers. He also authored Billy Elliot on which the excellent movie was based.

I finished the civilization destroying Directive 51 and found out it's a trilogy. It's exciting.
