Can you suggest any erotic gay romance (novel) ?
Many of the Mercedes Lackey books will have that theme, most are available at the used book store for pocket change. Try Magic's Pawn or any of the Last Herald Mage trilogy. If you're looking for something more explicit, you will find it at http://nifty.org An almost limitless supply of smut.
What does "blobby" mean?
This is the asker. I could not include the context due to the length restriction. Here is the context if you need it. I saw this word from the book Room by Emma Donoghue. The word comes from a narrative part of a little kid: "I count one hundred cereal and waterfall the milk that's nearly the same white as the bowls, no splashing, we thank Baby Jesus. I choose Meltedy Spoon with the white all BLOBBY on his handle when he leaned on the pan of boiling pasta by accident. Ma doesn't like Meltedy Spoon but he's my favorite because he's not the same".Thank you in advance.
Would you ever recommend "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak to any one of your friends? Why?
Are you looking for an engaging and thought-provoking read, or an in-depth and unusual look at WW2? If you are, then I would definitely recommend The Book Thief. It is narrated by Death, who introduces an interesting element of morbid sarcasm to an otherwise hopeful(?) book, and takes us from the microcosm of Leisel’s story into the macrocosm of the world at the time. Within Leisel’s story there are excellent examples of greater issues of the the day, such as discrimination against Jews, but the issues are viewed on a local and personal scale, rather than as statistics. As Charles J. Rolo, a columnist for “The Atlantic”, remarks,“[…] “a single man killed is a misfortune, a million is a statistic.” How to encompass the emotional reality of that aggregate of horrors which so easily becomes “a statistic” or a remote abstraction — “war dead,” “purge,” “pogrom”? “One of my favorite things about The Book Thief was this juxtaposition of personal vs global, and I found it especially poignant that the story was told through the eyes of a child, which lent it a certain hopeful quality. Despite the horrors of war all around her, Leisel finds a wry joy in little things, such as a new book, or in describing the weather to Max. All in all, this book is a fantastic read, and you should definitely check it out.

Who is Emma Woodhouse?
Emma Woodhouse is, let's remember, quite young (only about 21 years old), and terribly sheltered. She is accustomed to being the center of her own very small and doting universe, made up of her father, her governess Miss Taylor, and her family friend George Knightley, who was sixteen years old when she was born. Her elder sister Isabella, who might have shared the spotlight with her at one time, married George Knightley's younger brother John and moved away to London more than seven years before, so Emma is accustomed to being quite the star in her little solar system.She's spoiled, in her way -- not selfish; she's quite generous, actually -- but lazy, willful, and mostly impervious to criticism of any kind. She seldom encounters criticism in any event; her father thinks she's perfect, her governess loves her for her good qualities and corrects her only very gently; only George Knightley ever scolds or criticizes her in any serious way. Within the confines of her tiny village (Highbury) she is a Very Important Person, due to her wealth and social standing. She would like to be thought accomplished and is a gifted visual artist, although she has always hated practicing her music. Because of this she resents Jane Fairfax, the niece of two of her Highbury neighbors, because Jane is a diligent and truly accomplished musician. She can't see the absurdity of her taking into dislike a young woman of impoverished circumstances who is not in reality a threat to her social hegemony in any way.Her world is turned upside down just as the book begins, when Miss Taylor gets married and moves to her new husband's home, a half mile away. Emma believes that she made this match, and decides that this is her talent. She thinks about people as if they were pieces on a chessboard, trying to move them around in ways more appealing to her than to her objects. She has some bad outcomes (I'm looking at you, Mr. Elton) and acts out in some very unattractive ways. She falls into a weird and somewhat insincere flirtation with a young man she knows little about, and under his influence does a couple of really cruel, thoughtless things. But she knows better, and when George Knightley upbraids her for her thoughtlessness she takes his criticism to heart, and realizes that he has been right about so many things. And that he is the man who will help her be a better woman.There's hope for her, I think.
