ΤΟ ΚΡΥΦΟ ΗΜΕΡΟΛΟΓΙΟ ΤΟΥ ΑΝΤΡΙΑΝ ΜΟΛ
Πέμπτη 1 Ιανουαρίου ΑΡΓΙΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΓΓΛΙΑ, ΙΡΛΑΝΔΙΑ, ΣΚΟΤΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΟΥΑΛΙΑ Αυτές είναι οι αποφάσεις μου για την καινούρια χρονιά: 1. Θα βοηθάω τους τυφλούς να περάσουν στο απέναντι πεζοδρόμιο. 2.

(P/B) ADRIAN MOLE, THE WILDERNESS YEARS
Thursday January 3rd I have the most terrible problems with my sex life. It all boils down to the fact that I have no sex life. At least not with another person.

Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo!

(P/B) TRUE CONFESSIONS OF ADRIAN ALBERT MOLE, MARGARET HILDA ROBERTS AND SUSAN LILIAN TOWNSEND
Adrian Mole has grown up. At least that’s what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit «Pinky», working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn’t quite what he hoped it would be. Still, intellectual poets can’t always have things their own way. . . Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer’s daughter from Grantham. (ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ ΣΤΟ ΟΠΙΣΘΟ...
