Assisted Loving: True Tales Of Double-Dating With My Dad
By Bob Morris
What It’s About: Subtitled “True Tales of Double Dating With My Dad,” Morris is a gay son who gets to tag along with his 80-year-old father, Joe, who is now single and still plenty horny. At the same time, Morris obsesses with his own problems as a flabby, middle-aged guy looking for love in Manhattan’s youth-obsessed gay scene, while also turning into a bit of a yenta for fun-loving dad.
Daddy Quotient: This breezy memoir will get you thinking about how much your own perceptions of Dear Old Dad are colored by your own expectations—and why parents aren’t the only ones who feel disappointed when their family member doesn’t quite adhere to those psychic constraints.

The John Irving book looks very good the rest I will skip. I’m not a parent so the first book about “Gay” dads I have no point in reading.

“hopefully you’re able to spend it with the guy who raised you.”
I’m afraid that a lot of your readership has the attitude of: “hopefully I’ll be able spend the day 3,000 miles away from the guy who ignored me, when he wasn’t beating me up for being gay, and hopefully he’s passed out in front of the TV game with a bottle and a six pack, as usual… or maybe he’s in hell and nobody told me yet about the funeral.”
And in the case of most fathers… come on, reading a book? A book, since high school? Really?

Some new children’s books for children of gay dads I thought would be cute gifts for first-time gay dads celebrating Father’s Day: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085E40OU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwzachrissoc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0085E40OU
