The "Elegies for Rog" were written during the death and dying of Monette's partner during his bout with AIDS and will serve as comfort and empowerment to anyone in the face of despair.
After having fallen in love with Monette's poetry, I later came across his autobiography, "Becoming a Man : Half a Life Story." It brings out topics prevalent in homosexuality and coming of age which are too often supressed by the mistakenly common 'gay lifestyle.'
As a poet, I highly recommend both of these books.

Full of fascinating statistics (ratio of Japan's robot populatyion to that of the US's is 4:1), this stuff's not only illuminating, but it will also help you out when you make speeches for instance. Or have a paper to write.
Or do you just want to be entertained? Here are a few gems:
Did you know that R-rated movies have more violence than X-rated?
Did you know that the Soviet Union had 100 times more movie theaters than the US in 1990? (Geez, I can't imagine how bad their films must have been though!)
