Bisexual reading

[still_shy]

Anyone out there found any decent bisexual fiction?? I'm not looking for porn, just regular old stories about women like me. I recently finished the sequel to a book I read a few years ago and to be honest, it stunk. I remember the first one as quite a bit better than the second and it wasn't even that great :/ It's the Two for One Series by Sean David Wright. It just didn't feel realistic at all and was a bit too fluffy for me. I would consider the series light comedy/romance. If you're into that, check it out...you might like it more than I did!

I'm also interested in non-fiction if anyone has any recommendations. There's just not a lot out there for women, unless you're into soft core lesbian porn and I'm not. I don't have any against it personally. I just require a little more depth to my reading.

Suggestions, reviews, Opinions.....anyone?

I remember reading a book by Eric Jerome Dickey a while back. Can't remember the title but it was pretty good actually. So far, that's the only one I've found that wasn't too bad.

I read around 200 books a year. I was thinking/wondering if anyone would be interested in a book discussion group on here? The groups I've joined so far don't seem to be too active. Hell, maybe there's one already started that I haven't found. If anyone would be interested, let me know :)

It's a good idea, At least you'd know who you had in common with regards to reading. I'm more about non-fiction as well.

Readers, writers never make. This is more true after reading this book (http://www.amazon.com/20-Master-Plots-Build-Them/dp/1582972397/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390274896&sr=8-2&keywords=20+master+plots+tobias).
It well destroys motivation to write. At least in my case it did.

The book includes a stereotypical nominative of the Forbidden Love plot.
What is stereotypical? Well, it guides writers to have facets of love
such as homosexuality, and by extension one can imply bisexuality, into
tragic ends. It also touches upon May & December relationships, guiding
to the same bleak ends.

Tobias touches upon the Hero's Quest a bit in this book. Campbell is a
master of this plot trope. Once you have a rough idea of it, you begin
realizing twenty "master plots" are bordering on only being two. "Good
always triumphs, Bad always suffers, and don't forget it" are the two.

And then you look out into a myopic world wherein the common belief is
"might is right" ergo, good, you realize little point to "argue" or
"fight". You are told in round about ways, "no one will read this." One
more common which gets used often enough to be standard, "not quite what
we were looking for".

Trying to go independent can be rough too. You can still be told "no one
will read this". One handy tool in that regard is pricing ISBN numbers
with some handsome expense. Sure the press is free, until you seek
owning one. *chuckles*

Gate keepers do keep gates, same as haters gotta hate. Not read much of
anything fiction wise of late. Not had urge in engaging Sydney Sheldon
in conversation again. Would only talk to him. The rest seem to not
engage but rather feed dull formulas to imprisoned minds and souls.

Richard Bach was okay but after a bit existentialism causes indigestion.
Especially, once you slog through all eight different books of
Aristotle's lovely Metaphysics. *shaking noggin* Still not quite
sure why I did that, masochism maybe? *shrugs* "Oh the joy! Oh the
inhumanity! Whoa!" *lol*

Movies and television do not fare any better either. Writers just crib
from the same basic twenty plots, which for me seem only two. This
brings thoughts of the "real" world cascading in "fantasy" for me then.
I toss books aside to not care to finish reading. "Ha ha, look at me I'm
a formula written novel, pure commercial shit."

"Really? Hm, yep looks like. Fuck off!" *flings book* Wish such works
did not seek to announce themselves. In doing so they impose limits upon
imagination. It is akin to the whole Mcdonaldizing of industry, food.
Announcing your work is purely commercial shit, imposes upon writers
"hey look, write using OUR formula about WHAT we SAY and all is golden.
Don't and you can be drowning in shit yourself."

At which point the writer says to hell with writing. Why bother? There's
already a flood of shit to feed the market.

Then, readers like yourself come along. It makes jaded writers who have
forgotten what it is to write, feel all the more saddened. We gave up on
you, on ourselves. We believed the lie, "no one will read this."
