Wow, Berkut, you really have an axe to grind, don't you? I said I want dark and ironic books, preferably (but not exclusively) with some gay theme and you make out of it some sort of gay obsession. Why don't you find something to do with your life, rather than just bitch and moan constantly - you haven't offered any helpful recommendation in a thread asking for some, so why bother to open it and/or post in it at all?

I want books that are easy and relaxing to read. Such books usually feature some sort of romance or sexual theme, even if it is in the background. I prefer such themes, if present, not to involve the kind of sexual behaviour that I find sick, repugnant and disgusting - i.e. straight sex.

Marty, let the anger go - I WAS offering a helpful suggestion, but you are blinded by your rage, so you cannot see it.

You really do need that gaycation.

Does that apply to your choice of wine to drink as well?

"Sorry waiter, but that red is not nearly fruity enough for me, and it reminds me of repugnant man-woman sex. Can I get a puke bucket and a nice bubbly wine cooler please?"

But don't you dare find steamy man-man-sex sick, repugnant and disgusting - it'll make you a narrowminded faghater who's uncomfortable with his sexuality.

Yeah I can totally see how "What a drag that your obsession with your sexuality dominates your life to such a degree that you have to filter your choice of entertainment through a is it gay enough? lens." is a helpful suggestion. ::)

Consider that Marty's post was for rhetorical flourish. :P

It is.

I wonder if there would be a market for re-writing best sellers to be gay-friendly?

Wanna know what's sad? Me, reading a lawyer-themed book.  :'(

That's precisely why I laughed - he couldn't possibly be meat-headed enough to get as bent out of shape as he does about gay issues and then mean such a thing seriously. :)

No it isn't.

Although I like the idea that all of my posts were helpful advice. :D

I garnished it with 100% German funny bone.

As for Mart, I honestly don't know when he's joking and when he isn't, beause he's very tetchy on the whole issue. Best I just ignore his posts for a while to avoid any misunderstandings. :)
