Just wondering who else has read these books........I read the secret diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4, then skipped to the newest one (hey, i picked it up in a charity shop for 75p!).

Any one else like it? Got a favourite character?

I think I read the first one years ago. The title seems familiar, at any rate.

What?
Adrian Mole is an institutuon.
Sue Townsend encapsulated that 80's urban troglydite pefectly.
Doesn't anyone remember the serial?
Julie Walters as his mum.
Ian Dury's theme tune was genius enough.

Well, in the 80s i was too busy being born and learning how to walk/talk etc, so i didn't see the tv series! :lol:

IN the new book, i do like Glenn Botts.........but in the older one, i am quite fond of Bert too!
