Suggest me a book. I am 31, a man, and bi. I like romance, science fiction, thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, action/adventure, and horror. I also like essays like those written by David Foster Wallace.
What kind of genres do you like in books or other media? Ie. Fantasy, History, Scifi, Romance, etc. Would you like fiction or non-fiction?

You’ve given us very little to go on so I’ll make a suggestion based on what you have. I think one of the best gay (man) romance novels is Call Me By Your Name (which now has a sequel). This should be on the reading list of LGBTQ+ people and well actually those who are not as well!

Do you have any themes or aspects of books you *don’t* like? How do you feel about child protags, any topics you find upsetting or not interesting?

These would be my suggestions in regards to some of the keywords you mentioned, all of which feature LGBTQI characters.
– “Under the whispering door” and “The house in the cerulean sea” by TJ Klune. (Contemporary fantasy, romance, finding yourself and your place in the world).
– “Legends and Latte” by Travis Balder. (Easy fantasy, romance, feel-good, action).
– “All systems red (The murderbot diaries)” by Martha Wells. (Sci-if, action packed, inner monologue, snarky and very lovable/relatable main character).

Yahtzee Croshaw is a funny author with great characters.
Differently Morphus and Existentially Challenged- Governmental agency involved in the regulation of magic and extra dimensional beings.
Mogworld – Main character is undead. Hijinks insue.
Will save the galaxy for food and Will destroy the galaxy for cash – An unemployed star pilot tries to get by in a universe where transporters are a thing.
