Hello! New here and am glad to see a community for this!

I was just wondering if, in addition to online communities and forums, someone could recommend some books? I'm a huge bookworm and will mentally devour any book I can get my hands on (I just found a great book on introverts and was done in a few days, oops). So if there are any books anyone can recommend, I will very grateful. I'll also take some suggestions on demisexuals and gender queers/gender neutrals.

Thank you!

I hope you like young adult fiction, because both the reccommendations I'm about to make are classified as YA lit.

I have not read either book (well, I've started one of them), but Charles/Charlie the Unicorn over on his wordpress blog reccomends the following as good books for asexuals, and I trust him.

1) Someday this Pain will be Useful to You by Peter Cameron, which features a main character who identifies as gay but has a lack of interest in sex, and who can be read therefore as ace.

2) Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan, which has two mentions of asexuality by name, and though the character in question isn't - or at least claims not to be - asexual, he is as he calls himself "arelationship-al," which means he could be aromantic, which is also interesting. This is the book I've started reading, so I didn't read Charles' review because it was spoilery, but in general for good YA books, I reccommend John Green.
