Adrian Mole

Tuesday November 28th

"I took off my clothes and examined myself carefully in the wardrobe mirror this morning. My front view is quite nice. My shoulders are slightly stooped, my pectorals are perhaps lacking definition, but I am still above average in the looks department. However, my profile leaves a lot to be desired and, yes, Mohammed, my old schoolfriend, you spoke the simple truth: in profile, I do look five months pregnant. My belly, once a discreet concave, is now distinctly convex. How did this happen without my noticing? "

Sue Townsend published another volume in the Adrian Mole diaries. The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001, was published in hardcover in 2008!

It´s very cool! Try it!

Das Parfum

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 1985 literary historical cross-genrenovel (originally published in German as Das Parfum) by German writer Patrick Süskind. The novel explores the sense of scent, and its relationship with the emotional meaning that scents may carry. Above all this is a story of identity, communication and the morality of the human spirit.

Jane Eyre

A flowing story in which the characters come to life.

With vibrant and strong language Charlotte Bronte takes us on a magical journey through which we see Jane Eyre's life.

In thrilling and descriptive text Bronte clearly describes Jane Eyre's tragic journey.

Growing up she has a sad life, from the death of her parents to her abusive cousin.

Yet when she goes to live with Mr. Rochester her life takes a rapid turn.

Adrian Mole

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13¾ is the first book in the Adrian Mole series of comedic fiction, written by Sue Townsend. It focuses on the worries and regrets of a teenager who believes himself to be an intellectual. The book is written in a diary style and set in 1981 and 1982. It chronicles the supposed intellectual awakening of Adrian Albert Mole, and his wonderings, worries and woes. In the background, it refers to some of the historic world events of the time.

Apart from the sometimes hilarious events described in the diary, a lot of the typical humour originates from the reader immediately seeing through particular observations, while the boy pertinently and naively misinterprets them (such as the adultery of his parents and the pregnancy of his mother).
