What is the gayest book you've ever read?

Not just books written by gay authors, but books that are gay by themselves

Hard mode: No Lord of the Rings

I'm telling you, that chapter where Gene and Phineas go to the beach?

It was the gayest thing I have ever read...and yet it was so identifiable. I'm telling you guys: if you haven't read it and you think NOTHING can threaten your sexuality, you need to go down to the library and run John Knowles gauntlet of gay.

Only then can you call yourself a man.

Maybe a totally gay man.

But a man.

really /lit/? i would have thought u guise would have been a little more ahead of the curve. i guess being knowledgeable and well read doesnt always free you from cultural biases and biggotry.

anyway, does anyone have any books to mention that arent derogatory to gay characters or without putting your own derogatory spin on it?

i thought not
