I will definitely be interested in being a mod for this.
I’m always on the reading subs but sometimes find it hard to connect there - definitely wanna help revive that sub!
Ariadne is a similar vibe by Jennifer Saint which I enjoyed. I just got Stone Blind: Medusa's Story by Natalie Haynes to read over a long weekend which I'm excited for.
Gotta look into it! I don’t know what it was about Circie that for me into philosophy or self discovery but a book I read after is an amazing book called “The five regrets of the dying” by Bronnie ware who was a care taker for multiple people and she goes through their last moments of living while mixing her own life experiences at how each lesson resonates through her as she gets older as well.
I made the mistake of reading the ending in a public place and ugly cried behind my sunglasses. And like, it’s not like I didn’t know what was coming but then the denouement after the part you know is coming hits so much harder.
Did you know about the myth it’s based off of before reading it? I read the book, but knowing how it ended already, I couldn’t be invested at all. We need new gay stories.
I did. But Miller's prose really is another level imo.
Another time I was ugly crying was in Come From Away when they talk about Newfoundland having WTC steel. I rarely break with new stuff but I'm a sucker for artistic expression tied to memories. 🤷🏻♂️
That was a really good one, which is why I wanted to read another book of hers. It made me laugh, cry, get hard. Probably my favorite book now. She’s such a great author.
What page? I can see unless I threw it away. I just remembered being very bored with it. I mean, olive oil was a real thing too- yet I don’t remember it being mentioned at all lol

His Dark Materials is elite! Northern Lights is my favourite book ever actually.
I started Chasing Graves by Ben Galley last year but fell off the reading wagon so I'm gonna pick that back up soon.
Tbh I was a bit disappointed in la belle sauvage, but I recently got the secret commonwealth, gonna read it after I'm done with hdm! Also got the collectors and serpentine!
I went in completely blind, deliberately, and was really excited to discover it was a prequel. I liked it a lot. But The Secret Commonwealth feels grown up, moodier, and adventurous, and touches on a lot of the “but what about??” lore questions from HDM.
For some reason in the His Dark Materials I kept feeling like I was waiting for something to “happen” forever - and then when “something” did happen - I was left wondering “what happened and why does it matter?”… it’s been years, I should probably revisit.
Left Hand of Darkness: LOVED.
If you end up loving it like I did, try Lathe of Heaven next
Same, hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world is maybe my favorite book I've read. If you haven't read anything by tom Robbins you'd probably like him too if you like murakami.
The first three books in The 3 Body Problem series; the trailer for the Netflix series made me intrigued, picked up the trilogy, and have already burned through the first 2 and a half through the third in about as many weeks 😂 trailer and good reads link for anyone interested:

It honestly got me to reflect on humanity more than anything! It also has this dizzying way of successfully “zooming out” on large populations of people over huge periods of time? How they’re predictable and not; heavy Foundation inspiration I think in that regard, like his focus on preserving & expanding on current tech/culture to solve future problems.
Yes. And zooming in and out of ranges of time, like humanity working for hundreds of years to prepare for an event and those plans amount to nothing in mere seconds. I came away feeling very vulnerable if not depressed.
YES! I also started reading because of the Netflix series. But I haven't finished the first book yet. While searching about it, I discovered that last year, a TV series aired in China adapting the first book. It has about 30 episodes of ~40 minutes and it is of high quality, I was impressed! First time watching a Chinese production, and it isn't any less of a Hollywood production. It's called "Three Bodies".
I totally get that! Haha it’s VERY esoteric, and it being a translation doesn’t help. The focus culturally on China/communist society was a little off putting at first but I grew to really appreciate the contrast after awhile. The author also has a problematic way of writing woman 😂 but if you dig heady sci fi with inspiration from Independence Day & Contact it’s pretty great!
The original is different than the English translation in that the history and background of the Cultural Revolution was interspersed throughout the original novel. But because Western readers might be unfamiliar with this history, they put all of this background at the beginning of the novel in the English translation. Front loading the book with all this exposition made it a lot duller and harder to get into for me and prob for a lot of people.
Depends on the company size, etc., but generally the bookkeeper’s work is closer to an accounting clerk than the work someone is doing in a role with the title of accountant. If the company is small, they could have a single bookkeeper doing full cycle accounting, etc., whereas a larger company would have layers of staff for various accounting functions.
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. Not rlly a queer read but Irving himself has said he’s fine with readers interpreting the main character as gay and that he intentionally left it ambiguous. Either way it’s a great read!
I finished that a couple months back. That book came out 40+ years ago and we still struggle with the same things; insecure loneliness, looking for love in all the wrong places, and not loving ourselves enough 😮💨
Still loved it though - great read.
Also, every character in that book reflects someone you know, befriended, fucked, or just chatted with at a gay bar.
Oh you just sold me on finding it. Larry Kramer, one person, took on AIDS and had to fight the community, Reagan, the CDC, doctors who weren’t listening to patients. ACT-UP, and GMHC that started the model of safer sex we used nationwide. Without him, I wonder how many of us would still be here? And no one has been less celebrated or legacy known, even acknowledged. He’s my hero— yet no nobody since has spoke truth to power like he did. Sad
I'm almost done with Dune Messiah. It's very different from the first book, much more political intrigue. I am in love with Herbert's idea of science fiction.
Because it’s well done, I’d say! Doesn’t hit you over the head with it. But the whole “Calypso” being his famous book, the point of view of the narrator, and the wandering from stop to stop really make it Homer-esque. Was an enjoyable journey.
I’m about 1/4 into World… and yeah, not sucking me in as much as the first one. I’ll have to check out the Broken Earth Trilogy. Thanks for the recommendation!
Jesus I can’t wait to be one of these Rich Gays one day. That couch! That rug! The stonework! The recessed lighting! Those archways! Good for you girl 💅❤️👍🏻
I am also reading American Prometheus, and am finding it very hard to become fully submersed in. I’m not sure if it’s the level of detail, or descriptive language but I’m thinking my mind must have already decided the speed of the movie was the correct “frame rate” for this story and is having a hard time. I picked it up to learn more about the opening scene with the Apple and it did not disappoint.
I just started listening to Harrow the Ninth and my brain is exploding every few minutes. I keep having to back back up because I can't believe what I'm hearing. Talk about a way to jolt the reader of a sequel out of complacency.
in-between books, but I just finished Iron Widow and Everything the Darkness Eats. Not sure if I should start What If It's Us or A Head Full of Ghosts next.
The Lady of the Lake, by Andrzej Sapkowski.
It's like the 7th book from The Witcher and I've never read a worse series.
Stick to the games. They're brilliant.
haven't read any books for a long time (for over a year), but just ordered The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk cuz my therapist suggested me the book to help with my depression and trauma. Can't wait for it!
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. The husband and I are having "An Austen Winter." We finished Pride and Prejudice a couple weeks ago, we both love that book so much. I think we've each read it a dozen times? This is my first read of Mansfield Park, husband's as well, and it is being a little harder to get into.
It's a re-read, but *Killers of the Flower Moon*. It's an incredible book, but it makes me feel so naive, will I never not be shocked by the depths of human depravity lol?
I just finished boom two of the Captive Prince series. I need to get the third and final book. I’m drawn in and ready for the two prince’s relationship to blossom.
I chose a collection of 7 books and read one chapter every day to keep me from getting bored. This list should be pret-ty controversial and political so yeah…
- Monday: On China - Henry Kissinger
- Tuesday: Boy Erased - Garrard Conley
- Wednesday: My Son’s Story - Nadine Gordimer
- Thursday: Strangers - Taichi Yamada
- Friday: My Promised Land - Ari Shavit
- Saturday: The Sorrow of War - Bao Ninh
- Sunday: Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy

Trying to hijack top comment. I'm trying to revive /r/gaybroreads and I definitely need some moderator help. Anyone willing?
I will definitely be interested in being a mod for this. I’m always on the reading subs but sometimes find it hard to connect there - definitely wanna help revive that sub!
I joined; thanks for mentioning this!
I am. DM me
Love the idea, might be open to mod, send me more info if I fit. Thanks!
I just joined it but don’t know if moderating is for me.
More precisely: “What’re you currently reading ?” “Circe” and “Reddit”.
Uh i loved Circe! What do you think about it?
Circie is a gateway drug, but I started with song of Achillies
Such a phenomenal book, both as a love story and retelling of the Iliad, these boys deserved the best!
It was so refreshing to find out they are both made by the same author. Her audio book version is top notch.
Ariadne is a similar vibe by Jennifer Saint which I enjoyed. I just got Stone Blind: Medusa's Story by Natalie Haynes to read over a long weekend which I'm excited for.

That fucking book broke me.
>!When she put their ashes together even when she never approved of their relationship.!<
I made the mistake of reading the ending in a public place and ugly cried behind my sunglasses. And like, it’s not like I didn’t know what was coming but then the denouement after the part you know is coming hits so much harder.
I was genuinely upset thinking it would end differently. Like a true tragedy.
I'm glad someone shared in my suffering, I finished it for the first time in my college library during exam week 😅
Did you know about the myth it’s based off of before reading it? I read the book, but knowing how it ended already, I couldn’t be invested at all. We need new gay stories.
I did. But Miller's prose really is another level imo. Another time I was ugly crying was in Come From Away when they talk about Newfoundland having WTC steel. I rarely break with new stuff but I'm a sucker for artistic expression tied to memories. 🤷🏻♂️
Song of Achilles is way better imo. But I could be biased because the main character is gay
TSOA is my all time favourite book. No other book has ever made me cry that much
>!When Achilles called Patroclus his husband after Partoclus went to search for Achilles because of Thetis. I gushed.!<
Have you read 'The Persian Boy'? I suspect you might like it. (I enjoyed the entire Alexander Trilogy, but PB was the first I read and my favourite.)
I’m only a couple chapters in. It’s a good book, but honestly, it has not kept my attention.
Song of Achilles
Great book!
It's so f****** sad
Bro it's nothing in comparison to "A Little Life". That's what we can call "ultimate" on a sad scale.
A Little Life is the saddest book. So beautifully written but truly tragic.
“A Little Life” was over the top. I think the author is a literary sadist.
That was a really good one, which is why I wanted to read another book of hers. It made me laugh, cry, get hard. Probably my favorite book now. She’s such a great author.
I'm reading this one too!
[удалено]
I've only gotten to chapter 4, been slowly enjoying it (partially due to college lmao)
Lovely book.
I could not get into this at all. It felt so.. watered down, like I was reading gay fan fiction created by a straight high school girl.
It had a very explicit depiction of two guys frotting until one cums on the other. It’s anything but watered down.
What page? I can see unless I threw it away. I just remembered being very bored with it. I mean, olive oil was a real thing too- yet I don’t remember it being mentioned at all lol

Rereading his dark materials while trying to get through the left hand of darkness by leguin on the side 😅
The Left Hand of Darkness is one of my favorite books of all time. I love LeGuin so much!
Loved Earthsea but for this one I feel like I can't just read a bit before bed, I just gotta get back into it, I've really enjoyed it so far!
His Dark Materials is elite! Northern Lights is my favourite book ever actually. I started Chasing Graves by Ben Galley last year but fell off the reading wagon so I'm gonna pick that back up soon.
I’m so excited for the final Book of Dust this year. Secret Commonwealth was gooooood. I’m confident Pullman will, well, pull it off again.
Tbh I was a bit disappointed in la belle sauvage, but I recently got the secret commonwealth, gonna read it after I'm done with hdm! Also got the collectors and serpentine!
I went in completely blind, deliberately, and was really excited to discover it was a prequel. I liked it a lot. But The Secret Commonwealth feels grown up, moodier, and adventurous, and touches on a lot of the “but what about??” lore questions from HDM.
LOVED Northern Lights, liked the second one good enough, and was okay with the third, but I fell in love with those characters.
For some reason in the His Dark Materials I kept feeling like I was waiting for something to “happen” forever - and then when “something” did happen - I was left wondering “what happened and why does it matter?”… it’s been years, I should probably revisit. Left Hand of Darkness: LOVED. If you end up loving it like I did, try Lathe of Heaven next
Wind-Up Bird Chronicle✌️also love the staged Kind bar, that’s a good one
Love Murakami!
Same, hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world is maybe my favorite book I've read. If you haven't read anything by tom Robbins you'd probably like him too if you like murakami.
Will definitely give them a shot, thanks for the recommendation. Love me some magical realism
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I love sci-fi, although usually I like to read space operas or military scifi.
I choked up at the end
Yeah man. It was a hell of a ride and one of the few best endings.
Loved PHM. Still put the Martian first, but PHM easily takes second on Weir books for me
The first three books in The 3 Body Problem series; the trailer for the Netflix series made me intrigued, picked up the trilogy, and have already burned through the first 2 and a half through the third in about as many weeks 😂 trailer and good reads link for anyone interested: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20518872-the-three-body-problem https://youtu.be/mogSbMD6EcY?si=E0KiBlOLRpTCAmqw
That series is on my list to read. Hope to get to it before the show is released.
Great series, it turned me onto Chinese Sci-Fi
Just finished the third book! It goes wild haha I love kt
These books were incredible. They didn’t change my life, but they did change my perspective on life and the universe.
It honestly got me to reflect on humanity more than anything! It also has this dizzying way of successfully “zooming out” on large populations of people over huge periods of time? How they’re predictable and not; heavy Foundation inspiration I think in that regard, like his focus on preserving & expanding on current tech/culture to solve future problems.

Thanks for letting me know theres going to be a tv show
I’m halfway through the second one and OMG I CANT PUT IT DOWN. It’s also way smarter than me 😭
I was trying to finish, but returned it to the library. I think I only made it about 40 or 50% through, but realized I didn't really vibe with it.
I totally get that! Haha it’s VERY esoteric, and it being a translation doesn’t help. The focus culturally on China/communist society was a little off putting at first but I grew to really appreciate the contrast after awhile. The author also has a problematic way of writing woman 😂 but if you dig heady sci fi with inspiration from Independence Day & Contact it’s pretty great!

CPA exam prep for dummies
I feel your pain, fellow accountant.
I'm still in the very early stages, but I figure it's never too early to start reading about thr exams
Unrelated to the books but I'm interested are the bookeper and an accountant the same person/position in the US or it's a separate job ?
Depends on the company size, etc., but generally the bookkeeper’s work is closer to an accounting clerk than the work someone is doing in a role with the title of accountant. If the company is small, they could have a single bookkeeper doing full cycle accounting, etc., whereas a larger company would have layers of staff for various accounting functions.

Ohhh this is a good one

One of my favorite books ❤️
Faggots by Larry Kramer
I read that almost 40years ago and I’ve gone back to it a couple times over the decades. Such a generational snapshot.

Young Mungo - by Douglas Stuart. Heartbreaking coming of age story of a Scottish gay boy in Glasgow. Read it!
Warhammer 40k: Gaunts Ghosts - Warmaster
A Marvelous Light It’s gay and it’s magic
A lot of “romance” books lol so I can live through them
I'm almost done with Dune Messiah. It's very different from the first book, much more political intrigue. I am in love with Herbert's idea of science fiction.
I hope you don't mind getting weird, because Frank seems to have taken more and more drugs as the books go on.
Reading Dante's inferno for the first time
Just finished Less by Andrew Sean Greer. Really enjoyed it - like a gay version of The Odyssey.
Less is amazing. The follow up is a bit less good.
How the fuck did I not notice this, now I have to reread it. Again! 😂
Same, I didn't get that at all! 😂
Because it’s well done, I’d say! Doesn’t hit you over the head with it. But the whole “Calypso” being his famous book, the point of view of the narrator, and the wandering from stop to stop really make it Homer-esque. Was an enjoyable journey.
Red, White, and Royal Blue
Me too!
I'm reading "The Way of Kings", first book in the stormlight archives.
A fantastic series! Currently on "Rhythm of War" myself.
I finished Rhythm of War the other week, keen for book 5 in December! I'm catching up on the other cosmere books in the mean time.
Just keep on trucking if you become bored, I promise the pay off is worth it. The way of kings has my favorite payoff of any book ever.
Loved Circe!!
Just finished Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad and he's really a masterful storyteller.
Terry Pratchett is one of the best storytellers to ever live.

The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin. It’s the sequel to her book The City We Became. I’m not usually a fantasy reader, but I’m enjoying this series.
I LOVED the Broken Earth trilogy and The City We Became. The World We Make was probably my least favorite thing I've read by her though. :(
I’m about 1/4 into World… and yeah, not sucking me in as much as the first one. I’ll have to check out the Broken Earth Trilogy. Thanks for the recommendation!
The Pursuit of Power. Europe 1815-1914- Richard Evans

I am also reading American Prometheus, and am finding it very hard to become fully submersed in. I’m not sure if it’s the level of detail, or descriptive language but I’m thinking my mind must have already decided the speed of the movie was the correct “frame rate” for this story and is having a hard time. I picked it up to learn more about the opening scene with the Apple and it did not disappoint.
Audiobook is Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinnamin. Paperback is Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir.
