I first saw Cho’s comedy special by the same name when I was a teenager. That said, if you’re a fan of literary fiction, nonfiction/memoir, and romance, my hope is that you’ll find plenty of intriguing options on this list. There are admitted gaps here when it comes to YA, sci-fi, and fantasy - all genres with lots of bisexual characters, but genres that I’m not as well versed in personally (I will try to get on that). These are simply some of the bisexual-friendly books that have meant the most to me. What follows is by no means an exhaustive list of bisexual books - that would be pretty much impossible. So in honor of our visibility this Bisexual Awareness Week, I want to recommend some books. Once I became aware that the true meaning of “bisexual” can encompass anyone on the gender spectrum, and to any fluid or “uneven” degree, I’ve recently started feeling better about using it.īut I’ve been reading books featuring bisexual/pansexual/otherwise queer people for much longer, searching for myself in stories.

Still, despite having recently written a memoir detailing this journey, I’m only just beginning to get comfortable using the label “bisexual.” For too long, I thought it required an even 50/50 split and was exclusionary of trans and nonbinary people, whom I can also be attracted to. Luckily, my late 20s helped set that straight (or, should I say, not straight). Not because I didn’t (consciously) want to like women - but because I worried I simply wanted to want them and had tricked myself into homoerotic feelings. But that doesn’t prove anything, I’d think to myself. I’d masturbated furiously to even the abysmal last season of The L Word. Ever since I first got that good-throbby feeling from watching mermaid Ariel turn into a naked human, I've known that whatever I was.
