Adrian Mole: the Cappuccino Years by Sue Townsend continues the Adrian Mole saga. Adrian , now 30, is divorced and the father of two sons (William, almost three years old, and Glenn, 12). His good friends are still around: old flame Pandora "we adore ya" Braithwaite has been elected a Labour MP by capitalizing on her short, tight skirts to win votes; best friend Nigel is trying to figure out how to tell his family he's gay. To Adrian's horror, his parents swap partners with Pandora's parents--and his dad discovers Viagra. Despite his ineptitude at cooking, Adrian works as the head chef at a snooty restaurant called Hoi Polloi, which specializes in "execrable nursery food." Adrian--temporarily--gets his own cooking show, "Offally Good!"

Another book on CD I keep laughing out loud in the car during some of the funny bits. I'm sure the other people driving by think I'm crazy.
