Rec | THIS BOOK

‼️

I really struggle to read. I’m one of those people who looks at words and most times don’t read them. Whenever I try to read a book I get distracted and panicked about how I’m gonna turn the page now that I’m soooo comfortable lying down. The last book I read (held the book and listened to it) was Down The Drain by Julia Fox - so you can trust I have TASTE. This book feels very close to home. Very gay, sad, happy, promiscuous. Ten out of ten, if it were a person I’d make out with it.

fuck no

(anti rec…) got around halfway through before i realized how genuinely unhealthy was for me (17 at the time) to be reading in depth descriptions of self harm and abuse. genuinely dislike this book and cannot begin to understand the societal adoration of gay men’s pain that led people to dub it the “great gay novel". im not trying to be a downer or piss anyone off with this post, but i have very strong feelings about this novel.

things have gotten worse since we last spoke by eric larocca

i read this book in early 2022. i saw it on tiktok. im admittedly not a huge reader, and books i do read seriously have to surprise me to keep me entertained. im the same with movies. i spent months trying to track down a physical copy of this book. tiktok would never reveal too much, it really just appeared in haul videos and the comments would talk about it like a secret club. i wanted in. i eventually gave up and read it on my phone. i wish i waited. things have gotten worse since we last spoke is hard to explain. its the most pathetic, entrancing, and unforeseen story i have ever read. i sincerely hope someone has read this and recommends me something even more insane because ive been chasing this high ever since i read it. the story is told over a length chatlogs shared between two women (more points for lesbians). i dont want to say much because half of the thrill of this book is discovering whats really behind those fucking emails but its a basically psychological thriller romance. dark psychological thriller romance with body horror elements but thats all im telling. my favorite sentence ever is in from book. what have you done today to deserve your eyes? i think about it once a day. its my bio for like everything. seriously, read this if your into the macabre. especially gay body horror stuff.

Playboy by constance debré

read this recently and it’s been mad long since I reaaaaally dug a book like this. so frank and truthful and didn’t feel contemporary- sometimes contemporary gay literature can be a little too I Made You a Cookie But I Eated It vibes but this was so visceral and enriching and wow. Highly recommend
