recommendable book

This is a very interesting book not only for the gay people butalso for the bisexual/heterosexual inclined people. However , I was extremely astonished at the absences & omissions about male/love custom of traditional Japan, because after the ancient Greek, only Japanese could have enhanced the value of male-male sexual relation highly and praised it as "BIDO(the beautiful way)" or "WAKASHUDO(the way of the youth)" much superior than heterosexuality. I recommend two books "Male Colors" by Gary P. Leupp and "The Love of the Samurai" by T. Watanabe & J. Iwata. END
