Book forty-five: Drink, Play, F@#k by Andrew Gottlieb

I had a feeling I'd like this book and I did. A humorous parody of the Eat, Pray, Love disaster, Drink, Play, F@#k follows one man's imaginary year-long journey from Ireland to Las Vegas and ending at Thailand after his wife divorces him and moves in with a guy named David. Hilarious! I know. I know. There's nothing funny about the dissolution of a marriage. How crass, right? But hitting the drink, gambling to excess, and heading to the land of promiscuity to get over a failed marriage, well, it's perfect. Especially if all of that self-reflection and introspection of the likes found in EPL left you feeling a bit, yawn, bored. This was a ridiculously easy and fun read that I'll be chuckling over for a very long while.

26 down, plus 19.
