| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

| 2004-06-23 | 3551761655 | Fake 5 | Matoh, Sanami | | | | I hadn't been a fan of yaoi mangas (Japanese gay male comics) and actually didn't even know what they were until I came across them browsing at Bruno's, the gay bookstore in Berlin. I like to visit gay bookstores when I travel, and while I was in Germany I wanted to pick up some German reading material. I came across these comics and figured they'd be good for an entry-level reader, or at least provide a break from more advanced stuff.
However an added twist is that although translated to German, the book is laid out Japanese-style, with page 1 at what Westerners would consider the back of the book and with panels and dialogue moving from right to left.
Still, as with any comic book, when one gets tired of reading, there are pictures. The bonus with yaoi mangas is that the pictures are of cute gay twinks! | |
