ha, alex - glad we could finally win you over to camp thore ;-)! and may i just remind most about everyone who joined Gays of Daytime from the DeRo storyline that most of us made fun of the acting and the dialogue in the beginning? but i do agree that it has considerably approved!!! currently, it stands as the best gay story line on daytime. the orange shirt is FAR from my favorite outfit for him (haha, christian's best look is within the last minute or so of the april 4 episode ;D )- but it's a great recurrent theme... no matter what happens to ollian, we'll always have the orange shirt [glow=red,2,300]I LOVE YOU[/glow] like soap, it takes me 3 months (I was a fan before registrer) but I say it BUT, I prefer Thore in dark blue... Oh, and I still prefer Dennis Grabosch, but I can love 3 men at the same time, in order : GDT, Dennis, Thore Good taste, isn't it?

Some of you know I didn't say only good things about Thore, especially about the acting ( gaydaytime). The first times I saw him (Christian was with Coco and was afraid about Olli sexuality), I think Oh My God... The acting was awful (every time he talk, or move you think about an "actor" who play ... not a character). But now, I think he really "is" Christian, every time I see him, he seems better than the day before. It's amazing. At the beginning, when they were together Jo seems to be a "great" actor, now I watch VL for Thore and in second place for the story line. Great job Thore, you have a new fan ;D Alex Personnal message to GDT, orange shirt is good, but far for my favourite....

Another book I can recommend is "Born on a Blue Day" by Daniel Tammet. ... I also ordered the book "Running with Scissors" on amazon a few days back. It's again an auto-biography (or more like a memoir) by Augusten Burroughs. The first book don't really interest me at the moment (probably later), but "Running with Scissors" seems great, please tell us what you think about it Susurrus, you seems to be a real reader, what's your favourite "classical" books and authors? I don't know if classical mean the same thing in english and in french, for me it's great books and authors (usually dead authors), sort of books you want to keep all your life. My fav international is Steinbeck, and in french literature, it's Racine and Vian. And there's Neil Gaiman (he's not dead, and I hope he'll live a very very long life, abd write a lot ... I'm in love ), oh and Pratchett (he might be a Monty python). Good night, Love, Alex

JP/Craig : - Save A Prayer (Duran Duran) - Before McDean, I known this song, but didn't really like it, but now, I almost cry everytime I heard it (not often, it's an old song) - I can't stop this feeling i've got (Razorlight) - use many time, and especially for the first time. (and it's really them) Roman/Deniz : 2 songs - I don't know it, so if someone can help me ... It's on folge 357 (beautiful meeting between Roman and locker's wall) - Revolverheld - "Unzertrennlich" (I know the title because i've read the previous posts )

Je suis allée sur m6replay, pour regarder autre chose, et on peut pas vraiment dire que ca marche, même depuis la France : j'ai le son, mais l'image reste figée après les 1eres secondes, quand je veux en plein écran, au mieux ca ne fait rien, au pire, ca fait planter ie ... la qualité française, y a rien de tel

My fave though, must be storylines where one of them is "straight" and suddenly realises that maybe he isn't... Like in VL, AWZ and ATWT (ugh).. also in Summerstorm I actually wanted Tobi and Achim and Schorsi and his eviiiil gay "seducer" to be together. And I secretly want Ronnie and Ben from Make Me A Supermodel to have an affair. I think that's the real difference between us. Coming out make really good story for a show, but I prefer stories talking about gay men who know who they are. I love JP and Craig (as every one), but it's because JP's such a drama queen, and Craig's such a b**ch ;D (and James and Guy are great) For a storyline, I prefer JP and Kieron (he can't come out, but he perfectly know and accept himself), or Roman and Andrew. And that's why my favorite will prebably be for a very long time Brian and Justin. (No sexuality confusion, but love ... and sex ;D) For Ronnie and Ben, I totally agree... So hot together on Ben's bed. (And I think, when Ben hung his wife or Ronnie, it's the same thing ... but I watch too much soap )

I'm probably not the best to reply this question ;D , but I talk about it with my best friend, and for her it's not about double testosterone ration. She tell me a big part of her attraction on gay stories is forbidden love. Most women dream about absolute love, and to show how a love is powerful, it needs barrier, it must be very difficult to be beautiful. Every good love stories are about people who can't be together because of the society, best exemple Romeo and Juliet. Today, money, social class, race, religion ... are not enough dramatic for the imagination (but could be very difficult in real life ) Same gender couple are the least accepted, so the more romantic... A why gay and not lesbian ... because "testosterone hotness", we all agree, there's nothing better then a beautiful man ;D

My favorite book so far is "Die Mitte der Welt" by Andreas Steinhöfel. I don't find this book in french, I can read in English only if it's books for kids (like Harry Potter). Do you know if I can find it in french, or other good german books (gay or not) ? I don't know German Literature, and i'm sure there're great authors.

I don't know if this author is translated, but one of my favorite is Boris VIAN, who also wrote under the name of Vernon Sullivan. He was a jazzman, a writer, an inventor, a poet ... in his all life, he was against dicrimination. He didn't write gay books, but race or sexuality discrimination, for me it's the same thing. In 40s or 50s, he wrote a book about racism in a way nobody has done after (Roth try, but he don't get it) : an afro american, who looks like a white man, hind who he really is, his family ... For me there's no differences with some gay stories And Boris Vian was very funny, the worse love story might be so fun and so sad at the same time... ;D

The catch in the Rye ( l'attrape-coeurs in french, it means The catch-hearts ) - JD Salinger, is the only story who talk to everyone. JDS write it in 1951, but it talk to everyone... If you feel lonely in any way , this book is a good friend. You're gay, or lonely, or not good looking, or whatever, JD Salinger talk to you, he understand you the way nobody can. The first time I read this book, I don't want to live anymore, and now, it's help me to remember how difficult the life is for younger. I think that all western government must oblige (?? I don't know if it's the good word) every student and especially every parents to read this book : suicide rate must shut down.

A another book have his place here, even if it's not a gay book. The catch in the Rye - JD Salinger. Every teenager must read this book, and every adult must read it again, to remember what's important, and how you feel when you're young...

I myself haven't read too many gay-themed books, mostly because I have higher standards when it comes to books than I have for movies and it's so hard to know what is good. I agree with you. But one of my favorite books is a gay book or gay related (depend of the reader), it's "The Power of the Dog" of Thomas Savage. Some critics and a short summary : "Thomas Savage is a writer of real consequence... a masterful novelist." -Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World "The Power of the Dog offers so many pleasures readers will be forgiven if they do not immediately notice that it also engages the grandest themes-among them, the dynamics of family, the varieties of love, and the ethos of the American West. Put simply, The Power of the Dog is a masterpiece." -Larry Watson, author of Montana 1948 and Justice "Thomas Savage is a writer of the first order, and he possesses in abundance the novelist's highest art—the ability to illuminate and move." -The New Yorker "Gripping and tense...a work of literary art." —Annie Proulx, from her afterword This new edition of The Power of the Dog marks the return of one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in the literature of the American West. Set in 1920s Montana, this compelling domestic drama tells the story of two brothers—and of the woman and young boy, mother and son, whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice—and the intense passion and cruelty of his characters—holds readers in thrall.
