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!

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.

“What a great surprise when I was walking in north Bondi! Not sure how he got there neither what book he is reading but I can tell it is a book and he is hot!”
Well thankfully you don’t have to know much more about that guy than that. I mean it’s in our name! Hot Guys (check) Reading Books (check). The fact that he’s shirtless, he’s in an exotic looking local, and that the picture is just absolutely gorgeous is all just a bonus.
(thanks, Angela!)

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!)

In honor of The Hunger Games premiering tomorrow, I wanted to find a submission of an HGRB reading the book or one of the sequels. I found one! This guy is reading Catching Fire on the Los Muertos beach in Puerto Vallarta, and sexily running his fingers through his hair.
Now who’s on fire?
(thanks, Corey!)

What a perfect picture for a lazy Monday (oh, am I the only one feeling that way?). Julia, our submitter, writes, “I have the privilege of seeing Danté reading books everyday!” I can think of few better cures for a case of the Mondays than lying in bed with Danté and reading together.
For inquiring minds, he is reading Nietzsche’s Twilight of the Idols.
(Thanks, Julia!)

The submitter notes that this hot guy with epic hair, Eric, “writes more than he reads.” While writing is also sexy, I’m glad she managed to nab this photo!
(thanks, Christina!)

Here is a gratuitous photo of a shirtless guy reading a book in a field in the fall in England. I imagine that he has a British accent. You’re welcome.
Specifically, he’s in London Fields park.
If you like me, you might be interested to know that I’ve renamed my personal blog in hopes that it will be an outlet for humorous personal writing: Covered in Sticky Notes
(thanks, Vanessa!)

It’s a little early to salute No-Shave November, but I think this guy’s facial hair is worthy of celebration all year round. The submitter writes, “Nathan is currently teaching English in Japan with the JET program, which means he is training hot readers of the future.” He’s reading The Tao of Pooh.

Honeymoon shot! I love these. Although, if I ever get married I honestly don’t think I’ll be doing much reading on my honeymoon, but that’s just me.
Apparently he’s reading Mark Twain but no word on what specific book.
(thanks, Francis!)
Sometimes I get photos that are clearly inappropriate for the site.
Sometimes I get photos like these, which are hard to tell.
Sometimes I post them.
He’s reading Poor Richard’s Almanac
(thanks, Sandra!)
Hot Guys Reading Books is going on a brief hiatus. I will be returning to the blog on Sunday, July 10. Hopefully this photo will keep you going until I return.
I plan to be doing some of this while I’m away. The submitter received this photo from her best friend, who happens to be married to the HGRB in the picture. The submitter writes, “Originally the Mrs. took a picture of him reading on their honeymoon. I preferred this one though because, as newlyweds, I find it oh-so-sweet that you can see his new tattoo—their wedding date on his left forearm.” How sweet—and so much better than tattooing a name.
This is my best friend’s husband, Nick, at the Johnny Mercer Pier in Wrightsville Beach, NC. He’s reading The Year of Living Biblically
(thanks, Kelly!)
