Three Junes from Anchor Price: $10.50 Customer Review:  For the second year in a row, the criteria for winning the National Book Award seems to consist of novels with pretentious and verbose writing, unlikable characters, and a condensation of other (and better) books. Three Junes lives up to these criteria in spades. As a very voracious reader I rarely... |

Sellevision: A Novel from Picador Price: $9.75 Customer Review:  In the mood for something light, I read SELLEVISION by Augusten Burroughs . . . what a hoot! It is a novel about life at a fictional home-shopping network . . . such |

On the Down Low: A Journey Into the Lives of "Straight" Black Men Who Sleep with Men from Broadway Price: $15.36 Customer Review: I gotta give props to Mr. King for lettin the cat outta the bag ... guess what, not every man who has sex with other men is "GAY" (and white and skinny and teaches "straight" men how to dress). I hope the real world will pick up on the bottom line message of this book: peoples' sexual behaviors and... |

Tipping the Velvet from Riverhead Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review:  Note - don't read this if you don't want to know the plot of the book in advance. This is a deliberate lesbian coming of age/finding yourself novel - young Nancy, a Whitstable oyster girl (no, that's not the rude bit, even if it sounds like it) finds that she fancies women not men, follows a... |

Gulf Breeze from Bella books Price: $9.71 Customer Review: Do you ever wonder, when you read great books like this or the others by authors like Radcliffe, LJ Maas, Karin Kallmaker and so forth, why independent movie companies don't make these stories into movies instead of the dreck that most of them pass off as lesbian material? People always talk about... |

What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality from Alamo Square Distributors Price: $12.60 Customer Review: The monks originated logic as we know and study it today. Through the study of biblical teachings in a logical view (or what Daniel Helminiak refers to as historically reading) it is evident that the bible does not address the "sinfulness" of homosexuality. I would strongly recommend anyone, without... |

Up All Night : Adventures in Lesbian Sex from Alyson Publications Price: $10.46 Customer Review: Up All Night is a perfect erotica collection, with stories that runs the gamut from naughty to tender, smoldering hot to gentle flames that lick at you lightly until they get you totally turned on. Many of them feature couples trying out new roles, such as in Khadijah Caturani's "Ungentlemanly... |

Duncan Delaney and the Cadillac of Doom from Jonlin Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Haskett's debut novel is a brightly wrapped present, mixing numerous conventions--road trip, love story, coming of age, portrait of an artist, dark comedy--into a multi-layered celebration of life. That this melange is successful, leaving the reader with the feeling of discovering a shiny, perfectly... |

Wet : True Lesbian Sex Stories from Alyson Publications Price: $10.46 Customer Review:  I'm not even a lesbian (actually, I'm a guy) and I dug this book a lot. This is some good stuff -- no filler, just lots of steamy, graphically detailed (but genuinely erotic) sex -- none of that "her tenderness opened the flower of her lovingness" stuff readers of erotic literature know all too well... |

Swimming Pool Library (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Alan Hollinghurst may be the most intelligent gay English-language novelist writing today, with the possible exceptions of Edmund White and Gore Vidal, but Hollinghurst is neither so precious as White nor so nutty as Vidal. THE SWIMMING-POOL LIBRARY was his first effort, and remains his best. It... |

Sam Carson: First Exposure from Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh Price: $29.95 Customer Review: Sam Carson works as an architect in Los Angeles, which must have given him the penetrating eye for beauty that he shows here. That he can produce something this good on his first foray into photography is a rebuke to established gay eroticists (David Morgan, Jeff Palmer, Howard Roffman and Steven... |

Clay's Way : A Novel from Alyson Publications Price: $9.71 Customer Review: This is absolutely the best book I've ever read about being gay. Except it's not really about about being gay and I think people that aren't gay will love it too. It's so real and not political or chessy at all. There is none of that "coming out crap" and nothing about AIDS. This book is about a... |

They'd slept with the window open in the bedroom of her first floor apartment, and a faint breeze ruffled the curtains at the window. It was dark. Five a.m.? Soon the alarm would go off, and another day would begin. She... |
