Tommy's Tale

Description
Tommy is twenty-nine, lives and loves in London, and has a morbid fear of the c word (commitment), the b word (boyfriend), and the f word (forgetting to call his drug dealer before the weekend). But when he begins to feel the urge to become a father, and the pressure from his boyfriend to make a real commitment to their relationship, Tommy starts to wonder if his chosen lifestyle can ever make him happy. Faced with the choice of maintaining his hedonistic, drugged-out, and admittedly show more fabulous existence or chucking it all in favor of a far more sensitive, fulfilling, and-let's face it-slightly more staid lifestyle, Tommy finds himself in a true quandary. Through a series of adventures and misadventures that lead him from London nightspots to New York bedrooms and back, our boy Tommy manages to answer some of life's most pressing questions-even those he never thought to ask. show lessTags

Wickedly funny, i read it in three days and that's while working full time, with school and traveling over the long weekend. It was so good I couldn't stop laughing out loud (even on the NYC subway).
Smart, hilarious, and not for the faint hearted or moralistic reader!
