Vollidiot

Tommy Jaud was born in July 1970 in Schweinfurt, the Franconian mecca of the automotive supply industry. After dropping out of a German studies program in Bamberg, Jaud moved to Cologne. There, he worked in television and was, among other things, the creative producer of Anke Engelke's cult show Ladykracher. His works include the books Vollidiot, Resturlaub, Millionär, and Hummeldumm.

Book excerpt:
"... I want this woman! So I have to approach her. It's that simple. I decide to count to ten, then enter the place with a confident stride and a charismatic winner's smile. Then I will ask her what she has planned after work. Thousands of men do this every day. And not a few of them come out seconds later with their future wives from cafés, supermarkets, and bowling alleys. Sure, there are often a few smaller problems afterward, like infidelity, blackmail, and shootouts, but in the end, everything always turns out fine...".
