Post by: NightAngel on July 04, 2007, 02:28:27 PM
Hi,

Can you recommend me some good books, books which described us (transsexuals) , our lives, something like Cindis (Cindi Jones) - ''Squirrel Cage" , please?
and if you can named some internet book stores where I can buy that books, please.

I really like to read some good books in English, maybe I improve my bad English as well that way.  :)

thanks in advance,

For facts about transsexualism, you can't beat "True Selves" by by Mildred L. Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley. 

For a well written autobiography of a transwoman and her relationshiops, "She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders" by Jennifer Finney Boylan can't be beat.

Both of these titles can be ordered from amazon.com.  http://www.amazon.com

I hope you like them!

hugs & smiles

If you are looking for a guys POV and don't mind fiction, there is "Stone Butch Blues," by  Leslie Feinberg. That book rocked my world bigtime. I highly recommend it. It is based in part on his life.

It's fiction, and written for pretty young kids, but I thought Luna was an interesting read  from a sister's point of view.

Fiction?  Oh God! I took it literally.
