2003-09-10 One of the best books I've ever read

I must admit, I was not a fan of E. Lynn Harris. I have heard of him, but I never read any of his books. I just wasn't interested. I ended up reading two of his books, and became an instant fan. When he came out with this book "What becomes... ", I really didn't want to read it. I wanted to borrow it from someone and read it, which is rare, cause I love collecting novels. But, the bookclub that I joined sent me this book (I didn't order it at all). I was about to send it back to them, when something told me to just go ahead and read it. I couldn't put the book down, there were things about E. Lynn Harris, that touched me. Because in many ways we have lots in common. I'm not gay or anything, but what he's gone through when it came to looking for love and self esteem and everything else in between, I saw myself. I ended up emailing E. Lynn Harris about this book, and hopefully he'll read my email and email me back. But please, please, please go out and get this book. It is so inspirational, whether you are gay or straight. Make sure you have a box of tissues with you.
