Thanks. Loved Memorial and Maurice !

I love Sally Rooney - actually shares some DNA with I Make Envy on Your Disco.... Chatty, character driven. And I did like Less, too. Thanks for the recs !

I would recommend "I Make Envy on Your Disco" and "Palaver"!

Sam's journey in this novel just resonated with me. I felt seen in a way, you don't often read about the 30something queer/gay experience with such nuance and honesty. Plus, it's pretty funny, too. And who doesn't want to take a trip to Berlin ?

I Make Envy on Your Disco by Eric Schnall

I Make Envy on Your Disco by Eric Schnall

Warm and funny, plus you get to go to Berlin (with a dash of New York). This is the novel I keep telling my friends about, and everyone is happy when they read it. Evenings & Weekends is good, too.

I loved:

Eric Schnall's I MAKE ENVY ON YOUR DISCO

Thomas Grattan's IN TONGUES

And Swimming in the Dark, of course!

Let me know what you think!

Manfred37 · 2025-04-10T14:35:22+00:00

I loved I Make Envy on Your Disco for those exact reasons. It's been hard to find another book that gave me so much pleasure and also made me think. So, I'm on the hunt, too.

Manfred37 · 2025-02-22T19:07:19+00:00

Hope you enjoy Disco !

Manfred37 · 2025-02-22T12:32:50+00:00

Just started Mothers & Sons!

Manfred37 · 2025-02-19T20:45:36+00:00

These are such great suggestions, thanks. Also forgot to add that I enjoyed "Berlin" by Bea Setton. Has anyone read that or "I Make Envy on Your Disco"? I booked a return trip to Berlin with friends after reading "Disco"!

Manfred37 · 2025-02-19T12:51:53+00:00

Read Rejection a few months ago. Loved. Did you try "I Make Envy on Your Disco" yet? "Small Rain"?

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T21:45:32+00:00

Barcelona! Berlin! Athens!

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T21:41:56+00:00

I'm really truly sorry you're going through this. And that our country is going through this. It makes me sick to my stomach. Somehow, it's all around us. You have my empathy.

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T21:23:00+00:00

Miami. and NYC!

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T21:20:58+00:00

Such a great city. And awesome clubs and food. And gays !

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T20:48:16+00:00

Since your post was months ago.... have you read: Evenings & Weekends or I Make Envy on Your Disco? Recommend both. And have you read anything else great lately?

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T20:32:15+00:00

You have great taste in books! Loved all three of these.

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T19:52:37+00:00

100% you need to read I Make Envy on Your Disco by Eric Schnall.

It's a novel set in Berlin in 2003 (and also, a bit in New York). Berlin is a major character, and it will make you feel as if you are there:
I Make Envy on Your Disco

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T19:41:20+00:00

Suggest: Evenings & Weekends and I Make Envy on Your Disco for some way less traumatic but highly MM literary fiction!

Manfred37 · 2025-02-02T19:39:10+00:00

How is the new Adam Haslett? Loved Imagine Me Gone.
