Howl's Moving Castle was originally a book and Howl is much more vain and amusing in it. I think it's worth a read.

I highly recommend Mind Fuck and the whole Administration Series by Manna Francis.
I love those books: dystopian future, interesting complex characters, hot, hot, very hot ,although bdsm, sex. I reread several times.
Although it may be too hardcore for /cm/

>>2630459

The author sounds like an early version of fujoshi.
The plot seems....alluring AND overbearing.
Also, it doesn't help that I have a mild Persian/Arab guys fetish.

Should I go ahead and spend my bucks on this one?

I'm glad someone made this thread. I've just finished reading Dostoievski's "The Brothers Karamazov" (my suggestion to the OP) that was suggested here in /cm/ and would gratefully accept another recommendation.

Carnivorous Lamb. Gay incestious brothers in Spain. It's not just about their love; it's political, but first and foremost a romance, slightly smutty too.

I guess it's just pulp fantasy, but I enjoyed the Legend of Nightfall, and I'm reading the sequel now. The main character is badass-but-battered oyaji moe that is described as looking younger and less strong than he is. There's both bromance and hetmance, it's good.

I read the first book of the Bartimaeus trilogy after it was recommended on one of these threads, and even though it's more of a teen book there's a pretty decent amount of homolust in it from the main character. I thought it was alright and I might as well check out the rest since I finished the first one in two days.

Also I heard there's a visual novel, what's up with that?

>>2630784
The visual novel isn't that good, I wouldn't bother.

I'd recommend "The Vintner's Luck" by Elizabeth Knox; it's a lovely story about a boy who gets visited by an angel once a year, who listens to him talk about his life and slowly falls in love with him. I think there's a movie adaption too now.

>>2630684
I just borrowed my copy from the library. And if you have a thing for Persians I think you might like this, though you're absolutely right about the other two things.

>>2630872
Thank you! You don't know how long I've been looking for this one.

And finally I've never seen this book mentioned before but it does have a Pakastani 'silent' drill squad and a homosexual protagonist, which is pretty damn rare for its genre and setting, though that takes a back seat in respect to the plot most of the time.

>>2630775
Is there any chance to dl it somewhere? Just asking.

And, ok, Mysterious Skin is too /y/, but it's a good novel.

>>2631189
try library.nu
they have a lot of books for dl.

I've really been enjoying the Dragonships series by Tracy Hickman and Margret Weis. It's pretty much fantasy vikings need to save the world, and the main character Skylan in pretty sexy.

It's not done yet, but so far its been a very engaging story.

No longer Human by Dazai
Watch Aoi Bungaku's first 4 episodes.

tl;dr: extraordinarily handsome guy, multiple women, multiple suicide attempts.

I'm a big fan of Poppy Z. Brite, I'd reccommend her if you like your /cm/ with a side of creepy.

Lost Souls is her most popular book, it's about two bros for life (pic related) in a band that have some less than pleasant encounters of the vampire kind. The writing is excellent and my summary does not do it justice in the least.

Exquisite Corpse is a personal favorite, a what-if scenario of when two murderers cross paths. Also, a twisted love story.

Drawing Blood is what I consider to be her best written novel, it also has some characters from Lost Souls making cameos. Ripping the synopsis from wiki. The novel concerns Trevor McGee, a comic book artist and sole survivor of a family murder-suicide, and Zachary Bosch, a bisexual hacker.

>>2631326
Drawing Blood is my favourite, too. Brite manages to create a lot of vivid moments, but I remember this book especially clear. The deserted house, the streets which Trevor and Zach explore while tripping... A very strong athmospheric images (or I have too lively imagination). And doesn't this book has a southern gothic theme?
I haven't read her other books because at the moment they weren't translated to my language, and I wasn't so fluent in English. I think I'm going to try Lazarus Heart and Soul Kitchen as well.

'In the Company of Shadows' - this was mentioned on a thread exactly like this and it has brought me so much enjoyment I just had to get it out there again. I think of this as slotting between fanfiction and novels in terms of writing style, but it's a completely original series of stories. Here is the summary from the site:

"In the Company of Shadows is a series about two people who are thrown together as partners in a secret agency; their mission is to disband rebels who have propagated in a post-war future, but they have to deal with everything that comes with an unlikely partnership as well."

There's homoerotic tension and gay relationships, if you're into that, but that's not the point of the series at all - rather, it's a very touching story about finding your humanity in a difficult world. It's incredibly action packed, but balanced with very tender moments. Seriously, check it out. I had a brilliant summer last year reading this...

(it's all online, completely free to read)

Okay the rec that I have is nothing like the books recommended here. It's more like teen fiction and it's the first part of a trilogy but the protagonist is described as very beautiful AND intelligent . It's also a cyber-thriller and written for teens, but I assure it's a very engaging read, so please do give it a try.

Here's a summary of the book from wiki: Evil Genius follows the life of Cadel Piggot as he develops a sense of right and wrong. Because Cadel is a genius, his morality has significant consequences for those around him, and ultimately his use of his intellect destroys his surroundings until, at the last minute, he is saved by a moral code instilled in him by his relationship with a girl named Sonja Pirovic suffering from cerebral palsy (although he does not know this or her name at first).

His quest for moral direction is complicated by Phineas Darkkon, an evil genius of sorts whom he believes to be his father, and Thaddeus Roth, his psychologist (who the police identify as Prosper English, a notorious criminal and right hand man of Dr. Darkkon) who later claims to be his father.


He also meets a number of other 'talented' people at the Axis Institute, which is the university Thaddeus and Phineas created for him to hone his criminal skills. His specialty is IT and hacking.

>>2631440
Yeah I agree--I thought it was gonna be more exciting what with the assassination attempts and all, but nothing really that exciting ever panned out.

Well at least we got to see Cadel crossdress in all three books.
I also grew a strange fascination with Prosper English--I actually shipped him with Cadel until the end of Genius Wars--then I felt I got trolled hard lol.

>>2631449
>until the end of Genius Wars
No, I meant the end of Evil Genius!!

Havemercy and the sequel Shadow Magic are very good if you like bl romance and action. Set in a magic fantasy world with mecha dragons, fuck yeah. Each book focuses on 2-3 couples of males taking part of the bigger story; who's relationships vary between actual gay to just homolust or bromance. There's a third book too I will get soon, and a fourth not yet out.

>>2630415
It's far from literature but I thoroughly enjoyed The Traitor Game by B.R. Collins. Tons of homosexual references.

It alternates between the real world and these two boy's fantasy world that they spent all this time working on creating together. The concept of highschool boys taking their imagination so seriously may deter some people, but anyone who's ever roleplayed could completely understand.

Here's some copypasta.
>Michael, 15, was bullied unmercifully in his old school and expects the same treatment in his new one. Unable to voice his fears, he retreats into an imaginary medieval world called Evgard, which he has created down to the last meticulous detail. When he meets fellow student Francis, he can't believe the boy is equally fascinated by Evgard and wants to participate in the fantasy game. But when Michael thinks that Francis has betrayed him and exposed their secret world to ridicule, he retaliates with catastrophic results.

There's a huge frustrating thing that results of not being able to man up and speak, and the drama may seem a bit petty, but the whole book really just captured me.

The Evgard chapters have characters that reflect the two boys and watching their relationship was really... sweet. The way the Evgard world changes to also reflect things that happen to Michael in the real world is quite nice, and the way things come full circle leaves you pretty satisfied.

>>2631326

Just a note. Poppy Brite identifies as male now and it's more correct to use 'him.'

>>2631732
Take your political correctness, and shove it up your ass

>>2631753
I'm no fan of Poppy (frankly the majority of their works are complete shit to me) but that was pretty rude.

You from /lit/ or something?

Hero by Perry Moore. About a gay, teenage superhero.

Freak Show by James St. James. About a gay drag queen in high school. His love interest is pretty ~moe~. Warning that it's a quick read, but fucking hilarious.


>>2630872
reading this now, thanks a lot

I remember reading it a long time ago on fictionpress. About two guys who broke up after highschool experience, one of them being super obsessive and the other one doubting in his lover. And how they met again.
It can be found here:
http://www.booksie.com/erotica/novel/katya_dee/only-one-road/chapter/4/nohead/pdf/ver/8
Nice story, really enjoyed it.


Also, I'm going to ask for something. Is there any books/fiction about gay relationships with strong religious aspect? Ain't need no melodramatic 'we can't be together, that is a sin' thing, but a strong presence of religious theme.

penis

>>2631829
seconding the request!

>>2630872
>search on wiki
>read the premise
welp, I'm sold.

>>2630757
I also read "The Brothers Karamazov" thanks to /cm/ and you guys can't imagine how I am grateful for this suggestion! It's a really beautiful and touching book! After that, I read other works of Dostoevsky and recommend "Crime and Punishment" (pic related), "The Idiot" and "The Double".

>>2631829
This.
also are there any good books with historical settings(like Persian boy)? Apparently since playing Ass Creed I've become a sucked for historical setting stuff.

>>2631925
I can't think of any book off the top of my head that are set in older times besides medieval fantasies/fairy tales with handsome princes, so here are some set in 1800-1900's I liked:

The Impressionist
>The antihero of The Impressionist, Hari Kunzru's daringly ambitious first novel, is half English and half Indian. In the Raj of the 1920s, the racial and social divides are enormous, but Pran Nath is able to bridge them, crossing from one side to another in a series of reinventions of his own personality. He begins as the spoiled child of an Indian lawyer, but circumstances thrust him out of his pampered adolescence into the teeming and dangerous life of the streets. After a bewildering period as one of the pawns in Machiavellian political and sexual scheming in the decadent court of a minor Maharajah, he escapes to Bombay. There he is taken up by a half-demented Scottish missionary and his wife, but Pran Nath prefers to slope off to the city's red-light district whenever he can. During a time of riot and bloodshed, the chance of re-creating himself as an English schoolboy destined for public school and Oxford presents itself, and he takes it. But this is not his final transformation.

Basically the mc is a handsome youth, has to adapt to whatever shit life throws at him. and even crossdresses at one point for a creeper. There's a very strange ending to the book.

>>2631983
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
>The drawing room social comedies of early 19th-century Britain are infused with the powerful forces of English folklore and fantasy in this extraordinary novel of two magicians who attempt to restore English magic in the age of Napoleon. In Clarke's world, gentlemen scholars pore over the magical history of England, which is dominated by the Raven King, a human who mastered magic from the lands of faerie. The study is purely theoretical until Mr. Norrell, a reclusive, mistrustful bookworm, reveals that he is capable of producing magic and becomes the toast of London society, while an impetuous young aristocrat named Jonathan Strange tumbles into the practice, too, and finds himself quickly mastering it. Though irritated by the reticent Norrell, Strange becomes the magician's first pupil, and the British government is soon using their skills. Mr. Strange serves under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars (in a series of wonderful historical scenes), but afterward the younger magician finds himself unable to accept Norrell's restrictive views of magic's proper place and sets out to create a new age of magic by himself.

A quaint, humorous writing style. I love the characters, I was sad when the book was finished.

>>2631984
The Picture of Dorian Gray
>The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging

IT'S A HOMOLUST PARTY WITH YOUR HOST, OSCAR WILDE

pretty sure The Mortal Instruments had a couple of cute guys, from what I remember (also sexual jokes abound).

>>2630673
More books with dystopian setting?
I only read two such pieces of fiction, and neither of them is written in English. They are both breathtaking, though.
(Kudos for a zombie-apocalypse.)

You guys will like this really short story by Ray Bradbury called "We'll always have paris" - it's in an collection of his stories by the same name. gorgeous.

>>2631985
Honestly who hasn't read that? Anyone who's graduated from high school should already have.

>>2632090
Ray Bradbury actually did another one that I think is worth mentioning on here - Something Wicked This Way Comes. It's about two boys who are best friends fighting against an evil circus with the help of the main character's father. I read it in like a day but I really liked it, and there's an old Disney movie version of it too (haven't seen it though)

Not exactly homolusty, but it's more like cute boys doing cute things and I'm sure that's what some people are looking for on here.

>>2630415
I must say, I love all of you.

>>2632120
i heard they're releasing dorian with homosexual parts they took out in the old edition - http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/arts/after-120-years-oscar-wildes-dorian-gray-in-all-its-uncut-
glory/story-e6frg8nf-1226102875254

then i haven't read something wicked yet - too many pages. /worst excuse evar.

The Spud trilogy. That's all.

It's about a boy's boarding school in S.Africa. It's in a journal format and is absolutely hilarious for most parts,with a healthy dose of tragedy and serious issues here and there.

As for homolust, there is a lot of fondling, some kissing and even an attempted rape.

>>2630872
A short read. I started and finished it today. I must say, the author's style was like reading a summary. I felt like I was on Sparknotes for some reason.

I highly recommend Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman. It's probably my favorite BL-centric book. It's beautifully written, set in Italy, full of pent up passion and romance that does eventually get fulfilled (to a point). Though from what I remember, I got pretty angry at one of the character's actions/attitude at times and the ending was rather sad in my opinion. but it was still a wonderful book. 


Also, are there any good /cm/ related mystery books? 

Maurice by E.M. Forster
Plus there's a movie for it too!

Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Manifesto of every foreveralone anon.

John Dies At The End

Every one and their dog should read this book. I cannot stress this enough.

>>2633880
How is this book /cm/? Just curious. It seems interesting regardless.

>>2633898
It's incredible. The writer horror-mindfucks you and then makes you burst out laughing.
I read alot of it when it was free online. I need to complete it.

>>2634000
I would say just go buy it. It is worth every god damned penny. It usually takes me a while to complete a book because I get distracted by everything else, but I read this thing in three days because I couldn't put it down.

>>2634002
Oh wow, you sound like me, being easily distracted and all.
I think I might just go out and buy it. I read an insert of it online, it caught my attention pretty fast for what little they had up to read. Oh, jw, but since this has been recommended on this thread, is there any BL in it? It seems unlikely, but I thought I'd ask.

>>2633678
This it's a fucking marvelous book (and an even better movie). I have no idea why it isn't more popular.
Gay Hugh Grant. Who doesn't want that?

>>2634030
Nah, no actual BL, but I've heard of people pairing John and Dave, and Dave and...Korrok. But I haven't seen any fan content other than a fic on ff.net

A Separate Peace by John Knowles.
Gaygaygaygaygay. It's all subtext, but there's some intense homo here. It's also a literary classic.
Also literary classic full of faggotry is Gilgamesh. When we read it in sophomore year, we spent three blocks talking about (I quote this) "Love between men". Best week of english class ever.

>>2634403
On that note, it's companion novel Peace Breaks Out is also worth a mention. It's not so much subtext as it is boys behaving badly, so if you're into that sort of thing...

Bampu!

>>2634403
It sounds more like that your teacher turned it into a really homo book. Shouldn't this be in /lit/?

bump

>>2635218
That's what I was thinking too. I read that book a couple times and there wasn't anything homolusty about it...

Surprised Good Omens hasn't been mentioned yet, though at this point I'd say it's obligatory to read for anyone that browses 4chan.

>>2635893
Oh! I heard about Good Omens once. Is it really all that homolusty or anything of the sort?

>>2636289
In the comical but ultimately heartwarming sense... yes.

Most of the works by May Renault. I especially loved her Last of the Wine more than her other books.

Hi everyone, OP here.
Thank you all for the recommendations.
In reality, i started this thread to get ideas for a present to a friend that loves literature and loves /cm/. Now, with a couple of the books suggested we will give a copy of the topic as a special /cm/ gift. So, again, thanks everybody for helping make this surprise. =)

And, Boo, i know you're reading this now...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! =D

(Ps.: Don't let this stop the suggestions.)

>>2637002
t-thank you guys!!! And thanks to you too, anons! I realy love these book recommendations threads!

And I'll recommend His Dark Materials because the third book in the series is relevant to the /cm/.

bump

"Geography Club" by Brent Hartinger. Boy struggles with his homosexuality at school, realises he's not alone and they make a club that nobody would want to join so they can feel less alone.

Also the first "Only the Ring Finger Knows" book. The second has one /y/ moment and I forget if the third does but definitely a top series. The manga only covers the first half of the first book.
Another manga by the same author, Satoru Kannagi (different artist, mind) is "Rin!" which I suggest. Haven't got volume 3 yet so I don't know if there's /y/. Considering the cliches she uses (uses well though) I'd say yes, yes there will be.

I've also added a lot of the suggestions here onto my list so thanks.

Oh shit, son; I lol'd, oh lordy, did I lol

As far as reccomendations go, I absolutely must mention A Strong and Sudden Thaw by R.W. Day. Jesus, that was an awesome book. Someone said they wanted a dystopian setting, I think this might stretch for that. It's set in a post-apocalyptic america that has been stricken by climate change that causes it to almost always be winter. The love story is so very, very charming; I can't do it justice.
Also dragons.

boy meets boy by david levithan

homo homo homo all over the place.

is there any stuff with shy MC and homolust? the more well-known, the better.

The Nightlife series by Rob Thurman is filled with brotherly homolust/more then just bromance, and is a very good series all together.

I'm not good at describing book, so I'll just copy and paste this here.

There are monsters among us. There always have been and there always will be. I’ve known that since I can remember, just like I’ve always known I was one…

…Well, half of one, anyway.
Welcome to the Big Apple. There’s a troll under the Brooklyn Bridge, a boggle in Central Park, and a beautiful vampire in a penthouse on the Upper East Side – and that’s only the beginning. Of course, most humans are oblivious to the preternatural nightlife around them, but Cal Leandros is only half human.

His father’s dark lineage is the stuff of nightmares – and he and his entire otherworldly race are after Cal. Why? Cal hasn’t exactly wanted to stick around long enough to find out.

He and his half brother, Niko, have managed to stay a step ahead for four years, but now Cal’s dad has found them again. And Cal is about to learn why they want him, why they’ve always wanted him: He is the key to unleashing their hell on earth. The fate of the human world will be decided in the fight of Cal’s life

If you're interested, I can link to the first chapter.

I'm absolutely seconding Call Me By Your Name. It's an amazingly beautiful book. I thought the ending was perfect though! The ending made me cry so much because it was so beautiful....

Ai no Kusabi. It should be required reading for fujoshi.

uhhhh, pretty sure fags want to look at cute boys.....dumbass.

>>2643595
>>2633228
Didn't think anyone else would have read that book massive brofist. Also recommending it as it is fucking beautiful.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay has some bromance between cousins, and some actual romance between one of the cousins and the man who he falls in love with. Basically, one cousin escapes from Europe to America in the late 1930s, and the two of them create a comic book together. Of course, since this is set around WWII, the creation of the Comics Code Authority, and general early 20th-century homophobia, bad things happen to our heroes.

It's a good book, but sad. And you might want to keep a dictionary handy for it.

>>2645235
That book. That book is the only book that has ever made me cry. And not just "a single tear of sorrow runs down my cheek" but actual, snot streaking waterfall of tears. AND I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE ENTIRE BOOK. I wailed like a little bitch and I treasured it.

Also, Kolya? First fictional character I've actually had a crush on beyond the typical "so cool" bit. Y'know. Actual crush. Embarassing, I know, but... It's just a wonderful book.

I'm afraid to read it again.


OKAY. My own recommondation. Hmm.

Rant and Invisable Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. I love him. He's like some love child of Quentin Tarentino and Charles Bukowski and I adore him for it.

Rant is written oral biography style about Rant, a rabies superspreader in America.

Invisable Monsters is about a Supermodel who gets her jaw shot off and now travels the country with the man she used to love and a transsexual scamming medication off of rich people.

Y'know what's an amazing book? MW by Tezuka. Yes, yes I know it's a manga, but seriously I whole-heartedly recommend it. It is simply fantastic. I can't think of a way to do it any justice with my words, but do go check it out somehow.

Dedication

To S.A.
I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To earn you Freedom, the seven-pillared worthy house,
that your eyes might be shining for me
When we came.
Death seemed my servant on the road, till we were near
and saw you waiting:
When you smiled, and in sorrowful envy he outran me
and took you apart:
Into his quietness.
Love, the way-weary, groped to your body, our brief wage
ours for the moment
Before earth’s soft hand explored your shape, and the blind
worms grew fat upon
Your substance.
Men prayed me that I set our work, the inviolate house,
as a memory of you.
But for fit monument I shattered it, unfinished: and now
The little things creep out to patch themselves hovels
in the marred shadow
Of your gift.

I love Spud. I've only read the first two, because I can't seem to find the third anywhere to purchase for cheap, and my local library only has the first two. Sucks ass. It's definately a great read though, and hilarious to boot.

Pic definitely related.

It's a parody on the Apocalypse, and centers around a demon and an angel who are more partners than enemies. They are just trying to stop the end of the world from happening by trying to locate the antichrist. There's a bunch of cool characters, including the Horsemen and a young witch and a scientist and whatnot- but it's a very fun smart read.

I finally got my hands on a copy of 'Edward, Edward' (the actual title is ungodly long) by Lolah Burford. I'm so excited to read it.
I discovered it through an old book on romance novels I picked up in my uni's library (I found a section on same-sex romances in it).
So from what the summary says, it takes place during the early 19th century; and there's homosexuality, S&M, and incest. Granted, I'm not much into incest, but everything else sounds solid.
I'm thrilled to finally read this and I hope it was worth all the effort it took to wrangle a copy.

>>2649160
is the incest hetero? i hate gay incest

>>2649163
Of course it's homo. Not exactly my cup of tea, but the premise sounds pretty decent nonetheless.

Wow, this thread is still here. Anyway...

Many of Dostoevsky's works have a handsome protag, especially the previously mentioned Brothers Karamazov, even though handsome men back in old Russia had long beards most people generally don't find too attractive on youth these days. And of course, they are usually in some kind of psychological or political trouble, for those who like tragic heroes. There is a lot of male comradery/bromance too.

Right now I'm on The House of the Dead, it's mostly both cute and gruff convicts doing cute and gruff things, if you like that. The book is also a double feature with the Gambler. I haven't started it, but the summary reminds me of Kaiji.

I remember reading an excerpt from this book a while ago. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it right but this is what I read. John and Dave were in some hallway or something and needed to get out before something ate them and there was only one door out. Just as John got to the door the handle turned into a flaccid penis, John then turned to Dave and dramatically said "We can't go this way."

That's the kind of humor in the book, but from what I heard the boys are indeed homolusty in it. I need to pick it up for more lulz in my library.

For the anons with a thing for Persian homolust you must read Mary Renault's The Persian Boy. It's about a young Persian eunoch who ends up as Alexander the Great's lover.

>>2651423
Mmm. I must read this. Persian boy + Alexander the Great--it sounds like it was made for me.

Are there any /cm/-esque books involving magicians?

>>2654405
Did you see
>>2631984
?

It doesn't get much more homolust than Wraeththu.

>>2651423
Persian/Alexander the Great Homolust
SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!

>>2654502
Yeah, but it sounds like a fantasy novel, which I don't tend to care much for.

I'd like to read about magicians that don't actually have magical powers.

>>2647758

And speaking of Mishima there is of course Confessions of a Mask and Forbidden Colors, both have canonical homosexual themes. Confessions does not have much cuteness, it is a first person account of a young man who despises himself for his homosexuality.

Forbidden Colors plays on the same theme but is longer, with a third person narrative and includes a stunningly beautiful gay man along with a rather creepy old writer.

The mortal instruments by Cassandra Clare - It hast some really cool male characters and 1 gay pairing

>>2654921
>recommending the Mortal Instruments
That's a laugh.

Anyway, the Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman is alright. Takes place on another planet called Erna, which is characterized by frequent seismic activity and a current of energy called fae. Fae is heavily influenced by the emotions and dreams of humans, often giving birth to creatures called faeborn, or in some cases, demons. These faeborn feed upon the emotions of humans. This is significantly less pleasant than it sounds, since many of those emotions aren't exactly pleasant.

Anyway, Damien Kilcannon Vryce, a priest of the One God is out to kill a group of demons that stole the ability and memory of his girlfriend, he comes across Gerald Tarrant AKA the motherfucking Hunter who sacrificed his children and wife to some really dark and powerful god-like monsters several centuries ago and has been living as a pseudo-demon feasting on fear. Damien hates the Hunter but joins up with him because he's the lesser of two evils in this case. The whole series is pretty sexually charged even if the Hunter usually preys on women, especially since Damien gives Gerald permission to generate awful nightmares in him so Gerald can feed off him. Plus Damien keeps noting how pretty and handsome Gerald is. The whole series can basically be summed up as the redemption of Gerald Tarrant as Damien attempts to redeem and humanize him.

Oh, my oh my. If someone hasn't recommended it yet, then I recommend The Vesuvius Club: A Bit of Fluff by Mark Gatiss.

I haven't read all of it myself, but so far it's amazing, it's about a British bisexual secret agent named Lucifer Box in Sherlock Era London. He's like Sherlock Holmes meets James Bond with a bit of Austin Powers, but in a bisexual way.

I don't think there is graphic sex, but it does mention it, and seeing as the line that got me into wanting to read it: "Well, what was I to do? For the well-bred gentleman there was surely only one recourse. I fucked him." I'd say are at least some sexy men in there enough to please most fans.

>>2654405
I recently bought a book called "The Magic's Pawn" by Mercedes lackey. It's a about a young man who has to become a sorcerer or something like that. Though I haven't read it yet so I can't say if it's good or not.

+1 for Death in Venice. Great exploration of love for young males, and musings on the nature of art, too. And it's a quick read. I present a quotation:

"That Cupid, indeed, does as mathematicians do, when they show dull-witted children tangible images of pure Forms: so too the Love-god, in order to make spiritual things visible, loves to use the shapes and colours of young men, turning them into instruments of Recollection by adorning them with all the reflected splendour of Beauty, so that the sight of them truly sets us on fire with pain and hope."

(Yeah I took the time to type that out.) Hit me on t.astarte@gmail.com and I'll email you an ePub of a collection of Mann containing it.

Also I'll recommend London Triptych by Jonathan Kemp. A story of three gay men in different times in London, with a fair few boys and a romance with Oscar Wilde too.

I whole heatedly recommend the works of Denton Welch. His works typically involve a young protagonist (an autobiographical depiction of himself) wading through worlds of internal and external discovery.

I thoroughly enjoyed In Youth is Pleasure and The Stories of Denton Welch.

BUMP!

>>2651423

Holy mother of great gay god this book is AMAZING. Its subtle and not force and sweet without being saccharine and AWESOME!

all /cm/rades should read this book.

>>2633880
I just finished it and nearly keeled over from the hilariously twisted utter brilliance that is this work of fiction.

So, thank you kindly good sir/madam.

On another note, I recommend Selfish and Perverse by Bob Smith. Quirky, funny and down right adorkable.

Here, have a blurb from Publisher's Weekly because I can't seem to do this book justice:

Nelson Kunker, a miserably single, mid-30s unproductive novelist and Hollywood script coordinator for late night TV's Aftertaste, is burning out: endless cat-fighting at work, a boss from hell and the nagging notion that he's either really talented or just gay. Safeguarded by best friend Wendy (a gigantic lesbian), Nelson's love life finally gets a boost after a chance meeting with burly Alaskan salmon fisherman–cum–student archeologist Roy Briggs, cousin to Aftertaste's star performer Joe Benedetti. The two are immediately smitten, but Nelson gets fired for smoking marijuana with sexually ambiguous guest star Dylan Fabizak, on parole and postrehab after a drug arrest. Cut to Nelson, Roy and Dylan at Roy's home in Coffee Point, Alaska, with all the sex, danger, salmon fishing lore and sarcastic dialogue one reader could want, and an appearance from mother-hen Wendy to sort it all out. Pithy zingers (and a fair share of apparently intentional groaners), a chatty gang of likable characters, a simple yet sexy plot line and camera-ready prose combine with panache in this immensely entertaining story.

I don't think it's been mentioned so far: Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji). It's a novel from the Heian period, it follows the eponymous hero, Genji, the bastard son of the emperor. Genji is gorgeous to the point of being something of the original bishie. He gets entangled in all sorts of affairs because he has no qualms pursuing women but has a great difficulty in breaking up with them.
As a result things get very complicated for Genji whose greatest flaw is perhaps that he cannot handled being disliked by anyone.
It has moments of comedy and plenty of drama; unlike many Medieval literature it has no battles but it does contain supernatural elements with something of a twist.
It was authored by Lady Murasaki, a woman, which is rather rare at time. It offers a glimpse into the courtly culture in Japan of the 11th century with loads of pretty boys. No homosexual undertones, though.

>>2658064
>No homosexual undertones, though.
Didn't he sleep with Utsusemi's brother?

I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned Sherlock Holmes yet except to compare something else to it. If you've not looked into them yet, I highly recommend it, and no, they are nothing like that movie with Robert Downy Jr.

My favourite book ever is not particularly homolusty, but that shouldn't stop you. I think it still has a lot of cute males. It is by E.M. Forster, the same fellow who wrote the really very homo Maurice recommended here:
>>2633678

If you are into homoy works of legend and lore, I recommend looking into The Epic of Gilgamesh. Which aside from being an example of one of the earliest works of literature in the world, has an interesting relationship between the hero, Gilgamesh, and his best friend, Enkidu. Given the age of this work, there are a lot of somewhat conflicting sources and versions, later editions, and edits so try a few different versions. The Greeks were also pretty homolusty and liked pretty boys. I don't find them quite as interesting but with figures like Ganymede it should keep some of you entertained. Pretty much any pantheon is going to be full of good looking guys because they are generally given traits considered ideal or perfect, though what is seen as attractive is going to vary by culture.

If you enjoy children's literature, and please feel no shame in this as an adult, you should really read 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The Moomin series by Tove Jansson is also a lot of fun. From the short stories to the comics, they are quiet a mood lifter. As a bonus, the fandom for it is fairly large and there are often threads here for it. Pixiv has thousands of works under the tag 'ムーミン' as it had multiple animated adaptions there.

>>2655139
I hated this book and couldn't finish it. The writing tries way too hard be witty and ends up being incredibly stupid. It's like a badly-done steampunk Dorian Grey but without the scifi or any of Oscar Wilde's intelligence, just the cartoony historical setting. The main character is completely unlikeable. Otherwise I like Mark Gatiss as an actor and TV writer, though. [My best friend who also read it says "it's just dire"]

>>2658142
>My favourite book ever is not particularly homolusty, but that shouldn't stop you. I think it still has a lot of cute males. It is by E.M. Forster, the same fellow who wrote the really very homo Maurice
But what is the title?

>>2658355
Wow, let this be a lesson to me that I can't form decent posts after drinking.

A Passage to India is the book I meant to recommend, my apologies.

>>2658142
On Gilgamesh and Enkidu, I find Stephen Mitchell's translation seems to be the most recommended.

I haven't read all of it myself, since I had to read a handful of different translations of it for study, but Mitchell's was an easier and more poetic read.

I need to buy myself my own copy, it's definitely one of my favourite stories.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, by Tom Stoppard. it's actually a play, but it's such a great read. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are probably my favorite bromantic/homolust duo in literature. some of the text is a little hard to understand, but it's worth it.

>>2658519
If you've got The Brothers karamazov in there, I might suggest The Possessed (Devils) also. A group of young men try to start a counter culture revolution of sorts. Not really homolust stuff, but with the right sort of fujoshi googles...

>>2658558
I adore this play. Gotta second this recommendation.

>>2658519
Wow, thanks. There goes my next week.

I am sire you have all heard of the "Nightrunner" series. A well written fantasy series with two good looking male protagonists.

bump

Lord of the Flies by William Golding should be on everyone's reading list! It's a literary masterpiece, exciting, meaningful and tragic. Also the homolust is pretty much undeniable.

It's about a group of underaged boys stranded on an island. You know the drill.

>>2634403
I'd second this one. Obvious homolust, Finny has a very cute and almost moe personality, Gene is incredibly yandere for Finny. Good stuff.

>>2636289
Crowley/Aziraphale is still my favorite lit pairing, so yeah, Good Omens is perfect for /cm/.

>>2631909
Wonderful recommendations. For those who need persuasion, "The Idiot" has a [spoiler]MC x Yandere rival homolust bad ending[/spoiler].
While on the subject of Russian lit, I'll also suggest Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time"

>>2663082
I really hated having to read this book for English my senior year, but it is very homolusty with the right mindset.

I remembered having to write a paper in one of the characters POV, and I made them act as they appeared to me, very gay (but I made it subtle in the essay). I didn't use any quotes, which were required, but managed to get a 97 because of how well written my character was. All he did was yearn for one of the other male's attention by acting like a bitch. Hah.

The Neverending Story would be my recommendation. The movies were not half as interesting as the book. Atreyu and Bastian have some very slashy moments and either way it is a wonderful read with plenty of imagination and depth.

I wrote a paper on Campbell's model of the hero in the Neverending Story, it was a world of fun.

>>2663226
>>2663082

Whaaaaaa ...
It's written about pre-pubescent boys, I really wouldn't use 'homolust' if told to describe it. Think Bart Simpson in the early episodes, when he touches' Milhouse's hands and they both scream COOTIES! Wait, the Simpsons DID do a parody of Lord of the Flies ... meta.

Definitely a masterpiece and one of my favourite books though.

Yes, I second 'Good Omens'.. ^_^ It's so funny, and one of my favorite books ever. :D And Crowley and Aziraphale can certainly be seen as a couple, it's almost canon.. XD

>>2663246
The word homolust might be a bit too strong, but there's a lot of tension and subtext to read into that I never noticed when I was younger.

Anyway, it has a bunch of cute males, my favorite got to be Simon.

>>2663251

nah that name's been a familiar one for a few years. that person just likes to do that. like the annoying trips over at /a/.

Just wondering, does Les Mis fit into /cm/ lit?

I haven't read it, but I'd like to.

>>2663227
Ahhh, I have that book at home in German, but never read it in my childhood. I'll have to check it out once I've finished my current book.

>>2663552
Javert following Jean Valjean around like a stalker? Of course it's /cm/.

>>2630673
Thank you for the recommendation.
Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite book now.

I am a bit hesitant to mention this title because of a certain twist but here goes: 'Let the Right One In'. It's about a young Swedish boy who befriends a vampire, sounds corny but it is not. The horror is good and there is even canonical gay. Not for the faint of heart, though.

If you want to give the movie a go watch the original Swedish adaptation, the American remake is horrible.

Pic unrelated but cute.

>>2665776
>the American remake is horrible.
The remake wasn't bad at all. It was actually good, but it's inferior when compared to the original movie. Do you happen to know if Låt de gamla drömmarna dö has been translated? It's an epilogue to the original novel.

>>2665776
I absolutely loved that book! It's at the top of my list for /cm/ stories. Or any stories.

More slashable young adult book recommendations, please?

>>2665784
It may have been okay but the swedish kids were better looking, (no..pedo?)

Is WillGrayson worth it?

Finished Mary Renault's The Persian Boy and was amazed almost to the point of tears. If you want STRAIGHT UP homolust, no implications, no 'homolust if you squint' stuff. Read that. Its the second book in a series, I'm reading the third which is, while very good, sadly lacking in /cm/. However, I'm hoping when I pick up the first book that I'll get a lot of Alexander/Hephastion which would be very yummy.
Anyone got an other straight up homolust with a historical bent to share?

Are there any /cm/-esque books that are similar to Supernatural(tv series)?

>ctrl F
>no results for Demian or Herman Hesse

Surprised nobody posted any of his works sooner. Unless I missed it, anyway.

>>2667049
They're not quite the same but I would recommend Good Omens. And even though it's more vampire-related and with a female lead you might like the Anita Blake series. There are some gay/bisexual men in it, and there's also a comic series for the first couple books.

Another interesting comic I'd recommend is "Enigma," it's out of print but someone uploaded it to /rs/ a while ago.

>>2666307
I work in a used book store and we have a copy of this, but then all my co-workers (gossipy older women) would know my porn tastes :|

>>2667181
Is it still on /rs/ or do you have it?

>>2666307
One that I don't think has been mentioned yet in this thread: As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann. It's set in the 1600s during the English Revolution, so if you're into the historical stuff I'd definitely recommend it. It's a well-written book (not to mention pretty damn gay), but... The ending is aggravating and unsatisfying, and the main character isn't particularly likable. Also the author doesn't shy away from the overall unpleasantness of living in the 17th century, which can be a drawback.

>>2667185
For how amazingly good the persian boy is, I'd risk it. Seriously.
Went to the library to find more books. I'm finding that A LOT of Mary Renault's books are /cm/ with a historical bent. So try her out.
Love this thread guys!
>>2667276
Thanks, I'll try it out

>>2667270
http://www.mediafire.com/?2updffal4z21c52

I don't think it's already been mentioned: 'Brave New World', apart from the /cm/ content and slashy undertones it is one of the best dystopic novels and a sci-fi classic.

>>2667181
Anita Blake is awful. Even the beginning books are kitschy, trashy urban fantasy novels that you might fun, but series starting from, oh, Narcissus in Chains just goes into what the fuck territory. Even before then...it's not really worth slogging through crappy books for just Asher and Jean-Claude, especially since they never have sex in the books.

Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series is alright. Takes place in standard high fantasy-land with a war going on, but the focus is more on the queen's spy/thief, Seregil, and his apprentice/lover, Alec. First book is Luck in the Shadows.

>>2668243
>>2668243
you beautiful motherfucker.

Ooh, how long I've been waiting to share this book with people who understand it's beauty. The book's An Innocent Soldier by Josef Holub and it's based in the wars with Napoleon if I remember correctly. The main character is named Adam and he ends up in the army, holding a low position then working up to be the personal hand of young lieutenant Conrad Klara. First off, the cover alone is fanservice. I couldn't find many clear pictures of it, but this is the best I found. The plot itself is interesting, sad and touching and absolutely riddled with subtext. LIKE. THE NAKED IN A DITCH, HUDDLING FOR WARMTH KIND. Not very well known since it's originally in Russian, BUT it was a very good read and I shipped the HELL out of the two.

Any homolust book recs set in ancient Rome/Greece with or without mythology?

Everyone who's finished The Persian Boy, am I advised to read Fire from Heaven (Alexander the Great, #1)
by Mary Renault first?

>>2668581
They can be read independently, no problem. But after reading "The Persian Boy" you should definitely pick up "Funeral Games". It's amazing. Might be a bit lower on the /cm/ than her other stuff, but don't let that stop you.

Dance on my Grave, by Aidan Chambers. The main character is dealing with the death of his boyfriend, looking back at their time together, the good and the bad, and it's just incredible. Some implied sex but nothing explicit.

>>2668252
This sounds intriguing, but I can't find a copy online and it's not at my local library, either.

The Jeeves series is very charming and has overwhelming homosexual subtext. It takes place in an idyllic 1920s setting, starring the flighty, sweet Bertie and his dashingly intelligent valet (a gentleman's personal gentleman), Jeeves. It's very, very funny and an enjoyable read.

Loads of fanfiction for it, too, of a very high quality. Also produced as a show starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.

Bump! This thread is amazing

>>2669127
THIS.
ONE HUNDRED TIMES THIS.

....Wow. I just realized that of all series not mentioned here, it was Anne Rice novels. My friend has been pushing me to read them and apparently if any of you guys saw Interview with a Vampire, the book has even MORE sexual tension than the movie. Same with the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned (DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE). Either way, they're on my book list.

>>2668581
I read the persian boy and got super depressed at the end. Then I read funeral games and was even more depressed after that. Then I'm reading Fire from Heaven right now and I'm happy again. You don't need to read it in order. All three are amazing books.

>>2668577
Mary Renault's (I know I know) are really good for this. Beyond the Alexander trilogy, the last of the wine comes to mind.
>>2670101
Seconding the fuck out of this. And if you REALLY want some Ricean /cm/ read Armand's book.

Although this usually isn't my genre, I thoroughly enjoyed Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card which has tons of cute males.

If you're the type to see homolust in Lord of the Flies, then you will probably enjoy this one: the highlight being naked wrestling in the shower room.

>>2668577
First Man in Rome, by Colleen McCullough. The homolust side story is actually more of pederasty, but then that was all the rage back then.

>>2632879
Just started Spud and I'm already loving this, it's hilarious!
> When she tells them about my beautiful soprano singing voice, Julian licks his lips and assures my mother that he is very fond of choirboys.

More boys school novels recs?

>>2670291
If you're going to read Ender's Game, get it from the library. Do NOT give the author ANY money. He's a homophobic douchebag and the Ender's series is the only good thing he's ever written. His most recent book is a rewriting of Hamlet where Hamlet's dad molested every male in the book and made them all gay.

>>2670390
Of course nobody could recommend Ender's Game without one of these posts popping up....

Clive Barkers books of blood vol 1-3. Clive Barker is a homosexual and it shows. In one of the stories called "Pig Blood Blues" it is homosexual shota. Complete with a fake pigs tail in the shotas butthole.

And I had to read this for school.

>>2670291
Did you know's Ender's Game been picked up for filming and casting is just went out in last month? I'm eagerly for a school full of /cm/ in such an epic tale.

Man, I haven't come here in SO long, and the first thread I see makes me regret every day spent away.

Okay, my personal recommendation is The Perks of being a Wallflower. It's not really about teh gay, but it has one gay side character who I absolutely BLED for, and the whole book is so beautiful I would recommend it to anyone.

And Hero's Torch and Schadenfreude by thenineteen. These carry some warnings, they include BDSM at the mildest, and /d/ + guro type material at the strongest, but they're such beautiful, intense, incredible stories I think a rec would be obligatory on a thread like this. You can find them on gurochan's lit archives without too much trouble.

Massive thanks to the guy who posted the mediafire link earlier. I made a list of all the titles mentioned in this thread as well as a whole bunch of stuff from two lit threads from last year, in pic form because I'm too lazy to upload, though I don't know how many of the old links are still live. Anyway, enjoy

Ai No Kusabi is a light novel series, not a manga.

>>2669127
Huh, so that's where the sterotypical butler name Jeeves came from, I never knew about this.

Finding which of the Jeeves books to buy is a bit confusing though, doesn't seem as commonly compiled as Sherlock Holmes or such. Can anyone tell me which one to start with? And maybe which of the full novels are favorites in the series, if they all aren't important to a chronilogical timeline?

>>2630673
I spent the last 2 weeks reading the Adminstration series at every break or wait longer 10 minutes. Man, are there more slash BDSM fiction somewhere in the world? Fuck, this is so good.

>>2670449
Yes, I'm totally looking forward to it! It has the potential to be very epic. Too bad, I'm not a little boy, otherwise I'd audition in a heartbeat.

Stumbled across these the other day:

http://www.obsidianbookshelf.com/html/myfictionbibliography.html

Try reading the free excerpts, I dare you. The idea that people pay for this shit is astounding - reads like poor fanfiction.

>>2670291
If you enjoyed Ender's Game, you might try the other story set in the same universe and timeframe, Ender's Shadow. It's not a sequel or prequel per-se but it follows the character of Bean from the original book and tells the rest of the story from his POV. I quite liked it.

>>2670485
Yeah I remember loving this book. Can't believe I forgot about it.

>>2632879
Just finished Spud 1, it was a great read with the right mixture of comedy and sadder moments combined with a a very interesting setting in South Africa. Will definitely check out the sequels too.

Thank you very much for the rec, I don't I'd ever run across this novel without your recommendation.

Read "Son of a witch" by Gregory Maguire.

It's the sequel of wicked, and have tons of homolust, like Elphaba's son, Liir, has a lover, Trism.

Latter Days. I have yet to read the book but the movie adaptation was very good, odds are the original is better.
It's about a young gay Mormon missionary who falls for an out of the closet pretty boy. There is plenty of angst, lust and the story is very believable and moving.
It was based on the author's experience, too.

>>2670291
Hell yes, especially if you're reading it for the homolust, since that would piss off Card.

Holes by Louis Sachar is my most favorite YA novel ever. It's hilarious, touching and very exciting featuring a multi-layered plot. Lots of /cm/s an an epic friendship that can be interpreted as homolusty.

This is probably me applying homolust to my favourite book, but Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. He made me ship Marco Polo/ Kublai Khan. OTL
It's definitely /cm/ related at least.

>>2673249
Seconded so hard, cutest book ever.

Just started reading Fight Club, and it starts out with an extended gun fellatio scene. How people miss the homoeroticism in this baffles me.

Thus Spake Zarathustra by Nietzsche

The Farthest Shore from Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series has some homoromance (Ged+Arren), althought it is very very mild.

Hell, A Wizard of Earthsea too. Ged/ Estarriol, oh yes. And I always pictured Ogion the Wanderer as being rather dishy.

Wow, this thread is still alive?

Frühlings Erwachen /Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind is a short play set in 19th century Germany about teenagers discovering sexuality. There's a very homolusty couple with some snogging.

I'd rec you get your hands on a broadway bootleg of the musical adaptation, it's extremely good.

Why is that?

Aside from Good Omens, does anyone know of any other /cm/-esque books pertaining to angels? I'd be quite interested in reading them.

If you already have the tendency to ship most males, and love the "totally not implied in anyway" kind of story and stretch people's words, Brave New World is a good place.
