I have read two books already. They are:
I Am J
F2M: The Boy Within

But I would love to see if anyone knows of other books. I want some fiction books though. Not stuff like Becoming Chaz lol I mean I have nothing against him but I'm not looking into getting that kind of book. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear em!

Stone Butch Blues isn't specific for trans men, but some parts of it overlap. There was this one book where the main character is (for the most part) a teenage girl who turns into a boy for a week once a month. Don't remember the name of it.

Becoming Alec wasn't bad, and fictitious from memory.. All other books I have are biographies like Both Sides Now (personal fav, really good FWIW), The Testosterone Files, Just Add Hormones, Becoming A Visible Man etc - but again these last few are non fiction. I know you asked for books but there are some movies I can recommend if you're interested in seeing things from an FTM's point of view or just interested in genereal :)

Middlesex is one that I highly recommend.  It was the first one I ever read and it had a big impact on me.  While it's not strictly FTM, rather it's about a hermaphrodite raised as a girl and then becoming a boy, it's still pretty damn close.  So many of the sentiments he shares are the very same ones coming from the FTM community.

"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974.  My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent driver's license...records my first name simply as Cal."
