New book: “My Friends”. Note how the briefs match the book cover.

It’s because of books like these that I love the International Booker Prize so much. I’d probably never pick this up, and what a loss that would’ve been! A succinct & cinematic sociological thriller I read in one go, this is Brazil’s counterpart to Cormac McCarthy. A great start to the longlist!

I did this on Instagram, and after @bodieswithbooks.bsky.social hinted there’s interest here, let’s start. Might also make me read! Really enjoyed this one by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social; the sequels are on my list.

“And running allows our bodies to feel like we’re getting away from that metaphorical lion that’s chasing us, right? But then we’re running so much that our body starts breaking down, it really begs the question - what are we going to do about that metaphorical lion?”

Off of work today so hoping I can just stay in bed and read for most of the day.

Queer YA fiction is really making some points, y'all. #readingisfundamental #readingwhilenaked #camp @gayreader.bsky.social @otterreadz.bsky.social @thenakedreader.bsky.social @bigdickbookclub.bsky.social @bodieswithbooks.bsky.social

When you need to pause at the naughty parts 📚 #bodieswithbooks

“This book has no obvious genre; it needs to create one for itself. Just as death has no genre. Nor does life.” I thought Time Shelter was brilliant, and now this! Gospodinov is now on my auto-buy list 🙇‍♂️

Reading Pessoa while in Lisbon? Groundbreaking.

This is what my workplace kink is craving 🥵

“The rampage of death was such that it became common for people to be buried alive, which is why many coffins had bells in them. The only problem was that it was hard to hear them ringing once the coffins were in the ground.” The queen of gothic horror is back! (I prefer her fiction tbh 🤷‍♂️)

have you gone to the library recently? who knows, you might find a good… book. by @marcos.edge 📕

Ocean Vuong just has a beautiful way with words. And his writing is so raw and honest that there are times I find myself re-reading the same lines over and over again because they’re just so real and soulful. If you’ve never read Vuong, please pick up some of his work! #poetry #lgbtqia #queerbooks

Relaxing and some #nakedreading. Deep House is part intimate memoir, part social history and all together a beautiful book by Jeremy Atherton Lin #thegayestlovestory #nakedbookclub #nakedreader

Travelling to 1975 Italy today and a noir-ish story with film masters #passolini and #fellini. Olivia Laing’s writing is vivid, intimate and sexy. #nakedreader #nakedbookclub #nudereading #hardon

Soft cock Saturday featuring my almost finished book and coffee #scs

good morning cute bloomfs in my phone

“the heart's the center in everything— the guava, the mouth that bites it, the palm of a man's hand wiping juice off another man's chin. Call it sin, I'd call it Eden” Happy hump day!

“Was that what poetry was? A leap to another place without moving at all?” Blasting the heat today and pretending I’m in another place 😎☀️🏝️ Also, thanks to @otterreadz.bsky.social for deciding which photo I should post 😋

Steve’s book club: loving “Like Real People Do,” a queer hockey romance.

My new invention - Massive arse Monday

More office days like this please 🥵

Today’s activities… #HeatedRivalry #gayhockey #bigdick

“I am giddy; expectation whirls me round./ Th' imaginary relish is so sweet/ That it enchants my sense.” These lines about: A) seeing Troilus and Cressida tonight B) a massage I’m getting later (and the “imaginary relish” of my massage therapist saying, “Since you’re naked, I’ll be naked too).

I call this one “moist.”

Currently reading Michael Ondaatje’s The Cat’s Table. #currentlyreading #ondaatje #thecatstable #menreading #gayreader #gaywriter

The author has perfected the art of the slasher and “Killer on the Road” is a prime example of that. Killer on the Road is a High stakes game of cat and mouse with a bad ass main character in Harper. I was immediately pulled in with a shocking opening chapter #read #books

Does anyone need a bookmark? I’m not using this one #fcf

Spending #fcf eve reading and avoiding the cold 🥶

Some morning reading. 🏒 📖

Whose mouth can I use?

Guess my cock wasn't too interested in continuing my lazy morning reading.

This was a fun read. Highly recommend. It was intriguing, compelling and I just couldn’t put it down. Written in an interview style way, from the perceptive of the band members and people who have worked with the band or has crossed paths with the band. #read #books

It’s a lazy #tummytuesday #toweltuesday.

Is warm outside today. I’m hoping this will help me keep those cozy winter vibes. #scs

“All such restrictions, every such rule that reared its head, came from my parents. And now I had nothing more to do with them. But when you open the birdcage, the bird will always need time to realise it's free to fly.”

“I'm alone among the full ashtrays and empty glasses, the remains of a successful birthday celebration. One by one, I undo the knots on the balloons, bring them to my lips, and inhale your breath.” The queer longing and heartache in @lawrenceschimel.bsky.social ‘s lines make me just 🫠🫠

New year, new book 🤓📚 #scs

good night, beautiful boys 😘 #gay #gayman #buldge #reading #gayreader

Reading about mollies in my Mollys 📖 🩲 @mollyandtommy.bsky.social Good night, boys 😘

My scrolling through my friends nudes

I got these for Jólabókaflóðið last night and for Christmas this morning. The in-laws know me so well lol (although I have already read the Tanizaki, but I’m always happy to have different editions). I think I know what I’ll do for the rest of the day! 🤓

Catch up on some reading these holidays? 📸: @redhot100.bsky.social
