Peeps, I read about twenty pages of this the first month I was sober. It got to be too much so I put it down. So today I’ve read more than half and I must say that Mr. Burroughs, gay ad exec in Manhattan, getting sober… he’s my new hero.

Cool.. I have the book on my list and now also the movie.
I think it’s the socially outcasted feelings that I relate to with the gays.

Him bickering with the lesbian managers was everything you could imagine, just like you see on TV.

We bonded pretty well but sometimes he’d get too descriptive when talking about his mens. I never cared to know how thick of a cock one of his fling’s had.
But ya, mental illness, alcoholism, addiction.. Always terrific non-fiction.
