4.0 out of 5 stars Quotes to Appreciate!!, November 22, 2000

This review is from: Too Much of a Good Thing... (Paperback)

This is a great collection of "Gay" lines or quotes from all facets of media, including television, books, movies, interviews, etc. There are hundreds packed together here under titles such as: On Muscles, On Celebrity Gossip, On Drag, On Coming Out, On Marines, Showers, and Bette Davis, and many, many more chapter titles I can't say here. This is a small book with a lot of information. There is a handsome male photo to start each chapter, which alone is enough to buy the book. Some of these lines will make you laugh and others will surely provoke you.

I love these quote books because they are so entertaining, easy to read and a relaxing get-away. Read them alone, or it's great to get together with a group of friends and enjoy them. Whatever you do don't miss this book!
