Good Male Written Romance Books for Study

I'm looking for male written romance novels as the title suggests, female written is okay if its really above and beyond. I'm hoping for things like Francois Mauriac and Nabokov, with weird and deviant pairings and a greater focus on the mental state of the couple and their sexual dynamics. Anything specifically SciFi or Fantasy would be great, though I would prefer that the romance was the center stage storyline. As an aside, what do you guys think makes a romance story good and what would draw you too one if you're not interested in romance normally?

Oh, what's that? Not the kind of "romance" you meant? Too bad. Put down the genre fiction and read something worth a darn. :marseypathetic:

True romances are stuff like the Arthurian poems by Chretien de Troyes and other chivalric works as the word "romance" was used to denote compositions made in "vernacular" languages like Old French, Medieval Castilian, Norman-French :#marseybigbrain:

!linguistics !bookworms

But basically OP is referring to "love stories"

Are you like the argentinian GOOD WILL HUNTING or something? How do you know all this, at the same time read about history and at the same same time study mathematics?

I have a great memory for useless info. As for math I'm still struggling with basic proofs because I'm an engineercel and the past weeks have been my first exposure to analysis and it takes time to get use to it, but I'm not in a hurry (it's not like I have to take a test) and I'm realistic about taking a good time to get it.

GOOD WILL HUNTING

My dad loves that film btw, he made me and my sister watch it with him more than once.
