About
There are plenty of attractive men in the world, but unfortunately few of them that are avid readers. Welcome to "Hot Guys Reading Books" the blog that scours the internet for examples of luscious literary men and gathers the evidence in one place.
Hot Guys Reading Books is updated almost every day.
Submissions Welcome!
You can submit here.
OR, submit your photos to hotguysreadingbooks@gmail.com.
Don't think the guys are hot enough? The quality of the photos are only as good as the submissions. If you think you are (or know someone who is) hot stuff, snap a photo, and send it in!

Alli has a degree in English and still reads profusely even though she works in software. HGRB was Alli's brainchild, and she still cannot believe how popular it's gotten. Aside from reading and blogging, she enjoys drawing, adrenaline inducing adventurous activities, and making her friends laugh.

Kristin is a twenty-something grad student and future English teacher. She procrastinates by baking, crafting, shopping, riding her pink bike, and reading books that aren't course requirements. Kristin believes in the cause of hot guys reading books so much that she found one of her own, and now she raids his bookshelf all the time.

Consider Lindsay a twenty-something Anne of Green Gables. She works in a library and a middle-school. She enjoys eating mint chocolate chip ice cream while plotting to take over the world, crocheting Harry Potter-themed scarves, taking her dog, Penelope, for long walks, and reading as many books as she can get her hands on. She even has a literary tattoo. Once, Lindsay was compared to President Garfield.

Brandon is a young man who is possibly obsessed with both books and guys. He is pursuing a Degree in English and Library Science, with plans to own a bookshop later in life. He enjoys all kinds of sweets, very rainy days, dancing, and the color pink. He's immensely proud of being a half-Cuban and the small personal library he owns.

Hot things about this guy:
-His name is Thaddeaus.
-He is wearing glasses.
-He is lounging seductively.
-He has a cool bike. (Or, perhaps that is the submitter’s bike, in which case he is friends with people who ride cool bikes, which is still hot.)
(thanks, Izzy!)

This is Craig. Our submitter had a crush on him from 2nd to 5th grade. She writes: “We are now twenty five, and I haven’t seen or spoken to him since freshman year when I moved. I looked him up on Facebook, just to see what he was up to, and found this super hot guy. Wow! Time was nice to him.” Sounds like a missed connection to me!
(thanks, Lindsey!)

Eleanor has submitted a photo of her hot brother reading. As of when this photograph was first submitted, he was single. She wrote, “All inquiries will be filtered through me. Please include a 10-page essay on the cosmos in general and your particular position in it at the moment.”
Even though the 10-page essay sounds daunting, her brother is a handsome reader. I’m sure some lucky soul has made it through Eleanor’s arduous selection process.
(thanks, Eleanor!)

Ever see people that you just know are going to be super awesome, and you really want to soak up their super awesomeness by hanging out with them? I think this guy fits the bill. According to our submitter, this is Matthew. “He’s bartender by day, composer by night, but hot guy all the time.” Oh, yeah, I can get down to that.
(thanks, Suzanne!)

For some reason, I get indie musician vibes from this hot guy. Yes, I can definitely see him playing the acoustic guitar and adding some backup vocals in an obscure band. He’s reading Apes, Men & Morons which is out-of-print. So at any rate, he likes obscure reading material.
(thanks, jeremiah!)

The submitter gives us the low down on this hot guy: “This is a picture of Jonathan. Jonathan is Canadian! Jonathan is an excellent cook! Yes, that is a Lord of the Rings tattoo on his left forearm! Sorry ladies, he’s taken :)”
Wow, this guy has everything, doesn’t he? I particularly love the tattoo though, it’s really epic. As is the one on his chest, though I’ve no idea what it says. Oh well, I’ll keep looking anyway. It can’t hurt after all.
(thanks, Anna!)

“This is my ex boyfriend - I’m awfully kind to still call him hot.” Hey girl, you’ve got me beat in the “let’s be kind to our ex boyfriends” department. But, you know, if I had a picture of my hot ex boyfriend reading, well, I would probably treasure it too. We’ve got a good combo of shaggy hair, scruff, and glasses here.
Here’s to the good looking, literary men in our lives, whether they are of the past, present, or future.
(thanks, Kathie!)
