What's on the shelf? Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin

I loved, loved LOVED this book.

I felt like Michael Tollover was sitting in my reading room telling me the story and as ordinary a story as it was, I still didn't want to put him down and was pretty sad when we came to the end. I'll have to find out if there is a sequel.

Michael Tolliver has AIDS, but he is getting along okay with the new drugs. He's seen many of his friends die. He's managed to find love online in a younger man and he's married and living in San Francisco. In the book he has to deal with the death of his mother.

We learn a lot about Michael and the people he's met, and I just love the writing style. I'll definately go and look up Maupin's other books to see if I like them just as much. I really recommend this one.
