I've recently realized that aside from yaoi manga I haven't read much gay lit so to rectify the situation I picked up a collection of stories by Thomas Mann. My target is of course, his famous novella Death in Venice. Right now though I feel so emotionally pummeled. So far I've read 2 mental breakdowns and 1 suicide. I was aware before reading that Mann was not the type of writer to write cheerful haha ^ ^; stories but I should have known not to read this when I'm this tired (x_x) .
