Hello

[Pedro]

Hello, everyone!

My name is Pedro, I'm 27 and I'm from Portugal.

I'm gay and I love to read, so I enjoy reading some queer books. My favorite author is Haruki Murakami.

I like art in general, I love cinema, love Antonioni, Chabrol and Sorrentino.

My favorite genre is drama, so suggest me some complex gay books, if you like.

Hugs,

Pedro

Welcome Pedro!

For some good gay drama I'd suggest any of the following:

At Swim, Two Boys
Anything by Alan Hollinghurst, Samuel R. Delany or Christopher Isherwood
The Carnivorous Lamb
The Charioteer and The Persian boy by Mary Renault
Death in Venice
The Catch Trap
Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

These are some of my favorite. There are many more...

Thank you very much for your advice, Bill.

I will read some of these! :)

You should check out Song of Achilles! It's insanely dramatic and so beautifully written.

I agree, a good Gay historical fiction!

Read Isherwood! His A Single Man as been stunningly adapted for the screen by Tom Ford, featuring Colin Firth, Matthew Goode and Nicolas Hoult. So a man for every tast :-)
His Berlin Diaries are also wonderful.
Love him. For more Christopher Isherwood!

Have to add the Achilles book to my list. Have heard a lot about it lately.
