Adrian Mole, aged 13 3/4

I'm reading "The secret diary of Adrian Mole". (Many thanks, Dreamcatcher !)

I absolutely enjoy it .

Funny and realistic.

Here are some lines which give an idea of it :

-Tuesday January 13th :

"My mother still hasn't washed my PE shorts, and it is school tomorrow. She is not like the mothers on television"

-Wenesday January 14th :

"None of the teachers at school have noticed that I am intellectual. They will be sorry when I am famous."

"There is a new girl in our class. Her name is Pandora, but she likes being called 'Box'. Don't ask me why."

-Thursday January 15th :

"I read a bit of Pride and Prejudice, but it was very old-fashioned. I think Jane Austen should write something a bit more modern."
