hi, im new here

sorry, i dont have any pics up, i have to figure out how to do that. i just wanted to make one post. i dont know if any of you have read "Rainbow Boys." its a book and yeah that title should be underlined but my internet doesnt work too well so i dont feel like putting this post into rich text mode in case my computer freezes randomly. anywhoo... u all should read that book. its my favorite book in the world besides any books by J.R.R. Tolkien, but anyway, yeah, its about 3 gay guys. and its really really good and really sad. and there's a heck of a lot of boy touching described in there. and wow, yeah, they should make a movie out of that book. oh, one more thing, i forgot. also u all should read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." that book has boy touching as well, cuz one of the awesomest characters in that book, Patrick, is gay. well, thats all i wanted to say.

feel free to impale me with sticks if i'm wrong, because i haven't read the book in ages. but charlie was the main character, right? i'm pretty sure he wasn't gay.

You're right. He's not. Patrick is.

that is a good book, some parts seem far fetched, but overall, a look into some experience of it.

yeah, charlie definitely isn't gay in "perks."
it's patrick who's gay. ;)

Patrick is the best character in Perks. I think I've read that book 100 times. Hehe.

Don't forget the book 'Boy Meets Boy!' (Which has nothing to do with the tv show). Very good book. Infinite Darlene = <3

Mmm, teengayhighschooldrama paperbacks. My favourite form of the, er, "romance novel" genre. As it were.

Rainbow High, the sequel to Rainbow Boys came out a few months ago. Everyone should read that, too, because the characters grow a lot more than in the first book.

Rainbow Boys was good. Also, any Poppy Z. Brite book is chock full of gay boys. The best ones for the boytouching parts are Drawing Blood and The Value of X. Just got Liquor, which is the sequel to The Value of X, but I haven't read it yet so I won't recommend it until I have. Drawing Blood is very graphic, sexually. The Value of X is not so graphic but the sexual tension and romantic part of it is great.

Heh, I'm reading Lost Souls by her at the moment. A bit of boy touching and incest it's full of goodness lol.
I also bought Drawing Blood with it so that's on my 'to read' list next.

Thanks for the recommendations.
"The World Of Normal Boys" has boy touching in it as well and is very well written. I liked it a lot.

I just read Rainbow Boys a couple weeks ago. I wanted Nelson and Kyle together so much!

Everyone *must* read Maria Mccannes (sp) "As Meat Loves Salt", le sigh, I just finished it a few dyas ago and words fail me. Its simply heart wrenching. If you like angsty boys love with loads of boy touching (who doesn't?!) you'll love this book. Oh and theres a nice plot too, can't forget about that lol.
