Someone write me Jacob/Ferris please ...

aina_baggins rec'd it a little while back. slipperieslope and grievous_angel rhapsodized about it.

Do read As Meat Loves Salt if you're in need of a good, long cry. Read it if angst, lots and lots of it, and a love that hinges on obsessiveness and possesiveness are your kinks. Read it if you have a thing for big men/small men *glances at a certain somebody*

And read it if you're ready to howl and scream and beat yourself up ( and the book too, oh yes, that's what I feel like doing right now ).

Btw, Jacob is tall, very tall, and dark and handsome with a *coughs* booming voice.

And Ferris is small and slender, is full-lipped and has a gentle voice.

You know, just to make it easy for you to decide whether you want to read this book or not *g*

For me, there is only one 'Jacob' and only one 'Ferris' :)

Isn't it just such an amazing, mind-robbing read? McCann is a powerful writer and I hope her second book will be as 'take no prisoners' as this one. I get jaded by books and reading, especially this time a year when so many big name authors put out something pedestrian to grab a bit of the Christmas market. But a book like this, with the ability to stir me up, tangle my brain and inhabit the very air I breathe, is for me, a librarian (that most obsessive of reader) a miracle made of words!

She has a second book coming up? Wouldn't it be wonderful if she were to continue with the saga of Jacob and Ferris? There are so many unanswered questions. Other than the obvious ones regarding Ferris and Jacob, I want to know what happened to Izzy and to Zeb!

This girl, who called herself Ferris with head full of maggots ( *dies* ) recommended these 4 books (http://thedwarfedogge.livejournal.com/417.html#cutid1), along with AMLS, as the 5 most outstanding, recently-published gay-themed books. Have you read any of the other books? Do you have your own recommendations? I've read a few gay lits myself but except for Allan Holinghurst's, they're nothing to shout about. Heh, there are a LOT of LJ writers who are much, much better than those that I've read :)
