Summary: Getting On With Life....
Comment: Ford moves beyond the Dark Curtain that seems to have descended sometime in the late `Eighties and early `Nineties into a joyous celebration of life as it is and always has been among us. He examines the world we live in not through any perceived or special angle but through us as "Beings-in-the-World." Certainly, he makes concessions for our unique perspectives, and, particularly, our fears, but what sentiment comes across more than any in this collection is our realization that we all - gay, straight, whatever - make our own unique way in this world, while at the same time proving that we are all human, that we all share the same laughter, the same disappointments and the same ability to look upon one another with a cynical and still-loving eye. This book is a joy. Read it, laugh, be wry, and weep. Ford is a master of the well-chosen word, and he provides his essays with a geography of irony few can match. The only reason I gave his book a four instead of a five is because in this milieu we cannot afford to even joke about violence towards others, even towards those who are violent towards us. Let's take the high road.

Summary: Erudite, Insightful and Fun
Comment: This is one of the best books I have read in a while. The book is structured as a series of (loosely) related essays, which are written with sensitivity, outrage, whimsy and insight. It is an extremely good read. NON-GAY READERS SHOULD NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE TITLE. This book is not a gay-o-rama, though it deals with the subject where appropriate. If you like this, read its brother _Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me_.
Rating: 5
Summary: Michael Thomas Ford is Hilarious!
Comment: I recommend all of his books (Alec Baldwin doesn't love me) - they are very funny, well written and really amusing. I am constantly disappointed by gay humorous books (like Bob smith's lame book) but Mr. Fordn never disappoints.
Since the chapters are so short it is great for reading on the train or before bed.
I can't wait for his next one.
