recommend books for a Bi high school girl just coming out

[bertha katzenengel]

On the fiction side, I'm going to give her Rubyfruit Jungle. I will NOT give her The Well of Loneliness!

Any suggestions, fiction or non-?

Thanks

4. Slaughterhouse-5

It has nothing to do with being bi, but it is a damn good book.

Best of luck to the young woman; I teach high school and I can only imagine what she is going through.

5. Thank you, Goblinmonger

I think I'll get her that one, too. I have never read it :blush:. But she reads a lot, and I know she'll appreciate it.

6. Here's a list from the American Library Association's

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table:

7. If she's from a Christian background...

"The Lord is My Shepherd, and He Knows I'm Gay" by Rev. Troy Perry.

8. Rubyfruit saved my life

I'd also get her Fried Green Tomatoes. I read that as a freshman in college. The book is better than the movie.

9. Ohhhh.... a great list from the Bi resource webiste...

I think this is one of the most comprehensive lists I have found:
http://www.biresource.org/resources/index.php3?category=37


And these are some nice links that I would make her aware of:

http://www.biresource.org/


And best of luck to her. I came out as a lesbian in high school and then bisexual in my 20s. Each has its own challenges and rewards.

Cheers!
