Gay fiction/non-fiction discussion

Hi all, new member here. I've totally fallen in love with this book! And the film is wonderful too. Anyone else a fan of them?

I completely agree Hunter! Although they were quite explicit the scenes never felt inappropriate or sleazy, just beautiful and sensual

This is my favourite book and I often listen to the audio book. Enigma Variations is on my list of books to read and I hope it’s just as good!

Hi Ashley! I’ve not heard of Enigma Variations - I’ll check it out. I hear Armie Hammer is the narrator of the audio book for CMBYN

Yes, it's a beautifully written story, I loved both the book and the movie. I'm torn as to which has the better ending - the book is wonderful to give us those years of follow up, but that ending for the movie, no words, just brilliant acting, is one of the best endings I have ever seen in a film. However, I must say, I'm a bit turned off by Armie Hammer since all that nonsense about his cannibalism. It almost ruins the movie for me.

I'd missed that, somehow. Thank gods for google. Cannibalism? Seriously?

Charlie - the final scene of the film kills me every time! It’s so heartbreakingly brilliant

I have the audiobook to listen to. I don’t want to cry 😢

This was a wonderful film and I am looking forward to reading the book next.
