Customer Review:
Author Randy Shilts was a journalist before he became a best selling author ("And The Band Played On", "Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military").

from Plume
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Funny, talated, hopeful and uplifting as the author Dan Savage was the focus of my radio call-in show "Talk Is Cheap," where we discussed his own story of being married in Canada. Savage has managed to put humor on this very real subject with genuine universal appeal. As to why same-sex couples... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I just can't get enough of Dan Savage. He draws us into his life and paints a picture that is intensely interesting and surprisingly relatable. You can't put this book down.

from Soho Press
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
Stephen Fry recounts his childhood and teenage years with honesty and candor. Whenever I read an autobiography I'm prepared for some bias and self-absorption, but Fry's book seems to be a sincere attempt to be candid and reflect upon his past. The autobiography feels relatively uncensored as he... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America (Plume Books)
from Plume
Price: $11.56
Customer Review:
This book is a must-read to anyone in the evangelical church that continues to struggle with homosexuality. I think it would be helpful to straight people (especially in church) who are trying to understand a loved one who is gay. I wish I'd found it earlier in my life. | 4.0 / 5.0

from Picador
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Being in therapy is an excellent idea. Sharing therapy is a foolish idea. Dull-usions of writing like Faulkner make for especially bad editorial choices. I hope little Kevin feels better real soon because . . . well, poor thing. | 4.0 / 5.0

Rarely do I find myself taking the time to review anything (5 attempts at a blog and not one lasted more than a month!) but how could I not! While on a residency trip for grad school, I went to a bookstore to browse for diversion in the form of light reading or fashion magazines. How could it be... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Capote: A Biography
from Da Capo Press
Price: $13.36
Customer Review:
This has to be the second worst book that I've read in along time. His flings and the details that the writer goes into aren't always that interesting. The writer does name names and some are a shock and make you think. However, saying that the book could of been pared down at least 75 pages by... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
This book is both a small trip of New York and an intimate and skewed look of a man looking for himself and his place in the world. His somewhat shocking job, his transformation, his partying and his relationships. It is an interesting read, and you will often feel as if you were peeking trough a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
