What book are you reading now?

[Marvinteck]

Im not a huge fan of reading books however I am currently reading The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs. It was recommended to me by PA.

I'm reading The Velvet Rage its the book PA told me to read, so far its been very interesting, keep you guys up dated while I read it....

I just got done reading the book. I pretty much read it straight through cover to cover. Ill more than likely reread it at a slower pace to glean more information from it. I found the book to paint the gay life in a very depressingly superfical light. I could identify with some of what was said in the book however most of the affluent psychobabble Downs presented wasn't really relevant to me. The intended audience sounds to be affluent gay men that love the night life who are emotionally lost and have trouble staying in relationships. I found the ritzy glitz and glamour affluent anecdotes laced through out the book palatable at best. I would give this book 2 out of 5 stars after reading once. I would still recommend reading this book even though I wasnt extremely thrilled with it. It gave me insight into what makes other gay people tick that who are different than me.
