Anil (loykalina) | 9 comments Hello, everyone!

This is Anil from Surbiton, United Kingdom. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old guy who is trying to do a Master's degree in English Literature. My areas of interest are LGBT Literature and Masculinity in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

Originally I am from Turkey. I moved to UK in September 2011. I might move back to Turkey in a few months, though.

Actually, most of the books I've read have already been added to the bookshelves. The only ones I can suggest is Eighty-Sixed by David B. Feinberg and The Sluts by Dennis Cooper. The latter one might be too heavy for your taste, though.

Anyway... I guess I have said all I could tell you about me. Please feel free to ask me if there is anything you wonder.

Anil

Dennis Cooper scares me a little, but I'm a big horror fan and would like to try his work. Where would be the best place to start?

Anil (loykalina) | 9 comments Thank you, Nancy.

To be honest, I have read only The Sluts. I was told that his books are disturbing. It is partly true. I expected to read pages that would make me vomit or throw the book away in horror. Yet, I was much less disturbed than my expectation. I should try to read his other works to see if I can read his books relatively easily than some people claim.:)
