I'm in Sci-Fi Hell by Daniel Aegan and The Geography Club by Brent Hartinger

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Goodness me. ...

Messiah by Gore Vidal

What's Your Pronoun?: Beyond He and She by Dennis Baron

Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet

I read it when I was about sixteen. Found it in local used bookstore. I knew he was forbidden (good catholic family) and hid it in my room. But I ended up being disappointed because I didn't understand a thing. What was corn-holing, I asked myself?

Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman

Just starting Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare

Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear by Carl Hart

I just finished “Hurt/comfort” by Weronika Łodyga
(Polish name) here, in my so horrible homophobic country, it’s really rare to find book with no heterosexual relationship:) I’m glad that I found it ❤️

Reading the amazing life of Lost Prophet: The Life and Times of Bayard Rustin by John D'Emilio. I have it on ebook but a hardcopy just came into the library thankfully. The longer books are easier for me in a physical copy.

I’m like 35% through The Maze Runner

I am halfway through The Affirmation by Christopher Priest and at the same time I am reading Date & Time by Phil Kaye.

I am reading Hard-boiled Wonderland und das Ende der Welt by Haruki Murakami for over a week now but I am still on page 100 because in this house it is almost impossible to find a suitable time and place to read.

The Lord Won’t Mind by Gordon Merrick.

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

Best thing I've read lately was Take My Body by K.A. Merikan

On one level it's a body swap fantasy, on another it's a bit of a revenge fantasy. Weird thing is that it features a plot-line that evokes empathy, and looks at personal growth, self awareness, and self acceptance.

Not bad for a book that sorta had me for its sexy (if a bit kinky) bedroom aspects.

Rereading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, which I had to read in high school.

Started All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson on audio this morning while walking the dogs. It's excellent based on what I've heard so far - the dogs got an extended walk so that I could get to the end of the first chapter.

the Heartstopper series by Alice oseman !

I wanted to read Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski for some time and am finally starting it.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Just starting The little book of big happiness by Bernadette Fisers audiobook; only an hour and 40 minutes so not too long

The second-person "you" took getting used to, but made sense later.

I've started Lies with Man by Michael Nava.

Halfway through The Great Gatsby, understanding why I had been reluctant to tackle it (zzzzz).

Indeed, John. It's not a gripping read, is it! ... I've been told that the narration is so vacuous in order to represent the mood of the time. Still ...

Reading Beau's Dilemma: A Gay Tale of Science Seduction & Murder in Sydney by Patrick Doyle

I'm reading The Spanish Pearl.

I have finished: The Affirmation by Christopher Priest a weird book I am not sure I liked, the beautiful Date & Time by Phil Kye and the disappointing Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin (this one read in the Italian translation: Kentukis).
Now I am reading something totally different, an Italian classic: Cristo si è fermato a Eboli by Carlo Levi.

Playing Nice by J.P. Delaney. After two years, a couple receives the news from a second couple that their babies were accidentally switched at birth.

Wow that is another book on my to read list, ever since a friend first told me about Bayard Rustin I've been fascinated to learn more about him.
