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.

In honor of this Friday, I give you this. Meenal, our submitter, snapped this picture in Los Angeles, en route to Hollywood. “I am totally convinced that this is either Hugh Grant or Hugh Grant’s long lost twin.”
A Hugh Grant twin? Yes, please.
(thanks, Meenal!)

This is just what I needed to get me through this Monday. I wonder what he’s listening to, what he’s reading, and if he needs someone to apply sunscreen to his well-muscled shoulders. Mia, our submitter, suggested something brilliant: “Future Calvin Klein underwear model?” I definitely think you’re onto something there…
(thanks, Mia!)

Check out this HGRB! A very good looking guy who’s not only reading his own book, but has another book nearby. It may be a pretty day outside, but I think the submitter made the right choice staying inside with this gorgeous guy. Having coffee doesn’t hurt either.
(thanks, Urmee!)

Anyone else want to escape cold winter weather and go somewhere hot with a good book? Take a cue from Will, who is reading while vacationing in Puerto Rico. His wife, Sarah, says Will is reading Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
(thanks, Sarah!)

This hot guy is almost camouflaged by the gorgeous Canadian landscape— almost being the key word.
(thanks, Emma and Zochilt!)

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.
(thanks, sundayac!)

I really need to stop using “I want to go to there” as a caption for these photos, but look at this! This tanned, sexy man is reading in Koh Samui, Thailand. I know you all want to go to there, too.
(thanks, Mark!)

It’s a HFGRB: Hot Feminist Guy Reading a Book!
He’s reading The Second Sex
(thanks, Nic!)
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!)
