Has anyone joined this?

It's a "book of the month club" for us.

I haven't joined yet but wondered if any of you has yet.

I've bought books through ISO for many years. They tend to not have a huge amount of titles (at least in gay fiction) at any time, but they have enough for me to buy 3-4 books every quarter or so. They have a fair amount of non-gay titles as well, geared to entertaining, celebrities, popular authors with more mainstream works, etc. It is an offshoot of Book of the Month Club, just like History Book Club, or Mystery Book Club, etc. These days I buy more of my gay fiction from Amazon for my Kindle.

Thanks for the info on InsightOut. I may give it a try. There's also a new GLBT ebook site but I can't think of what it is right off the top of my head. When I find it again I'll post it here.

I rejoined lately but they never seem to have enough interesting books, and the prices are much higher than Amazon, for instance. Not too excited about ISO.

I've finished and reviewed the (misnamed) celebrity memoir Anything Goes: The Autobiography by John Barrowman. You know, Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood? Good actor, good singer, good looking?

Well, anyway, the review is in my thread...post #182.

I got the book via ISO...not always easy to find something there, because quite a lot of the stuff is aimed at people who like reading about coming out and cumming. I like a bit more breadth in my man-lit.

If people want decent gay fiction to read (that is, well-written and indecent), they need to get the Anglo-gay publishing industry on to translating some of Jean-Paul Tapie's books from French.

His 4-volume Dolko series is fabulous (historical fiction, well-sustained and very sexy), now followed by a new historical series with 2 volumes so far ('Amaury ou les chemins de Paris' & 'Bertrand ou les chemins de la Terre Sainte' - the latter just out). These are a great read.

He has also published some very sexy and remarkably well-written contemporary novellas and short stories under the pseudonym 'Zaïn Gadol'.
