You probably can't read the title because this copy of one of my all time favorite books in the whole WORLD is so beat up, held together by ancient pieces of sticky tape. But yes, eagle eyed reader, it IS The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Age 13 and 3/4ths. Plus two other volumes of his life. I forget when I got this. Definitely a birthday present, definitely early teens. I've read it a zillion times since, plus his later life which I didn't find half so funny. I think all geeky self important teens WERE Adrian Mole, so I couldn't laugh at him the first time round but on rereading now I also find it a little sad. Isn't that odd? #bookstagram #mrmbookclub #nowreading
