Summer. It's all fun and games until you skim that dreary summer reading list.
A vast amount of old washed out books by legendary authors.
So called "classics" that don't appeal to you.
But WAIT? What's this? Your saving grace perhaps?
Something that will make summer reading ENJOYABLE?!
As you skim the list you see a YAOI book!
What would you do if this happened?
Or has it??

...since 1992. Oh, Dorian Grey, absolutely. I did, infact, get a harcover special edition of Oscar Wilde's collected works. Mm. Just yesterday, in fact. rofl So... Maybe I'll have a looksee at De Profundis. (Or however you spell it. D: ) I'm planning on, well, classic horror this Summer. (The Pit and the Pedulum, Dracula, that sort... No gay, but hopefully some worthwhile reading. XD ) And maybe some translated old Greek stuff. Now where is that copy of the Illiad that's lying around the house? Okay, fine, I'm a literature whore. D: But old books by by legendary authors are worth a look. D<

Hmmm...that would be interesting. But maybe it's a test set up by your teacher just to see if you'd actually take it...
Actually, I just started reading Dorian Gray. I'm still on the 3rd page though so... blaugh

Dorian Gray? Never heard of it, but apparently I should read it. Still, yaoi in a reading list? WTF? Whichever teacher assigns that would be a near god to me, seriously. Thank you for making my summer!!! Unfortunately, it all seems like a dream to me...maybe in college....

Who else would be pissed at their teacher for replacing quality reading material with yaoi? I mean, unless they're doing like my teacher did and assigning one interpretive fiction and one escape fiction, to show the difference.. the only ones that are even REMOTELY on the same level are like.. Kaze to Ki no Uta.

I've read and watched dorian gray. they're both great!
but back to the topic: that would be hilarious and great. *imagines a teacher assigning yaoi* i would fall out of my chair laughing so hard.

Well, I've kinda gotten past the whole summer reading list phase of my schooling (i.e. I've graduated high school and attending college... kinda), but if I had run across a yaoi book on the list... instead of checking it out from the library, I'd have bought it - would've saved me money, considering the overdue charges I'd have piled up. xd
*Scribbles down the aforementioned books for future reading*

Miata the Miscellaneous Books like Boy Meets Boy, The Geography Club, and the Rainbow Boys trilogy have been banned from a lot of schools crying . But they're great summer reads blaugh . Really? I hadn't heard that. Another book I've found that could remotely be assigned is The Married Man by Edmund White. It's got a sophisticated feel to it.
