We have an update! Thanks again to everyone who submitted additional recommendations for the Readers’ Favourite Gay Books. Wren did a superb job incorporating your new recommendations with the previous list and I would like to thank her on behalf of all the M/M readers.  The list is now 300 books, at least two thirds of which you selected and I know that readers of M/M romances and other gay books will appreciate your contributions. As I said in the earlier post, this is not a Top Anything list, it’s a list of favourite M/M books from you, supplemented by many of mine.

You will be pleased to know that all of your new suggestions have been added. We have maintained the same categorization system to make it easy for you to find the books and I hope that this list will continue to be an excellent reference source for you, the readers. All of the different gay sub genres are here including memoirs and other books of social significance such as Armistead Maupin’s wonderful commentary about life in San Francisco in the 1970s – Tales of the City -  a memorable period of gay and also US history.

*************

I have always considered myself a libertine, someone who subscribes to the old adage: if it feels good, do it.

In the midst of gay equality, one group that often gets shoved aside are those of us who present a more shocking, but no less loving, nature to the more conservative right wing. It is for these proud and daring gay men that I proudly submit the following.

The Truth—and the Myths—About Being a Slut

It’s not easy being a slut. Maligned, judged, and often misperceived, we sluts are often thought of as having no values, when the opposite is true: most sluts are filled with the milk of human kindness (or some fluid like that)…that’s why we end up being called sluts. So I’ve come up with this list of truths and falsehoods about being a slut, in an effort to educate the public on this often misunderstood segment of our populace.
