A few days ago, i had some free time at the train station while waiting for my train. I love to visit music store or book store. There was a bookstore inside the station and i surfed the titles in the comic section. One book titled "lying is the first virture of gentlemen" caught my eyes. The picture was impressive and the storyline seemed interesting. A medical student who steals medicine for supporting himself and the professor who threatens the student and asking sex for being silenced!! Mmm yummy!!!! So i bought the book and secretly read it on the bench. Time flied and i thought for a while "what a blessed country this is" or something.

One of my all-time favorite movies! I watched this movie with Korean sub some ten years ago. Before this title is released locally, I only had a dvd with English subtitles. So it was only second time that I watched this movie with Korean subtitles. Some of the lines I misunderstood. Other lines, the translator of this dvd got it wrong. Mask was used for some scenes because of frontal nudity. Though I felt a little disappointed at the translation, I'm glad this title is released atn the local market at last.

Korean LGBT Activists' Group, Chin-gu-sa-i recently published a guide book for Korean gay culture : songs, queer movies or places that Korean gay love and so on.. The book even has a section for gay slangs. Funny. This book serves for both toddler gays and the straight who want to understand or get a glimpse of Korean gay culture.

While reading Scott McCloud's book, I came across the title of this book. And I start reading it a few mins ago. It is a book of a white gay man in the 60's and focused on racisim and homosexuality, I read from wikipedia. You cannot judge a book by its cover, but this book seems to be a serious one.

I am not sure. But at least, it seems like that to me. I found two English gay magazines(GT and Attitude) and two HK gay magazines(Good Guy and Achilles) at the same bookstore. Achilles is targetted to gym-goers. But if it's solely devoted to body building does it have to show so many men with so little clothes? I doubt it.

Several weeks ago, I came across a few gay literatures of Japan in English at one secondhand bookstore. One is Comrade Loves of the Samurai by Saikaku Ihara and the other is Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. That is selective stories from Saikaku Ihara's " The great mirror of male love " and easier to read so I'm reading the book while commuting. I also bought two more books of Ihara, Scheming World and Life of an amorous man . What an unexpected suprise! Even when I visited Japan this summer, I couldn't find those books.
