I'm reading A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon at the moment, and it is brilliant. Extremely funny and strikes so many chords. The following passage really made me miss my boyfriend though:
"He wanted to strangle Tony sometimes. The poor house-training mostly. Then he'd catch sight of him across a room and see those long legs and that brawny, farmboy amble and feel exactly what he felt the first time . Something in the pit of his stomach, almost painful, the need to be held by this man. And no one else could make him feel like that."

i am totally going to read this book, but the paperback is out of stock in local bookstores. did you read his first book? it was awesome.
No. I'm going to though.
Apparently my dad had it in his cupboard all this time. :(
I won't ruin the book, but the gay character, Jamie, is very well written.
