Fielding, Helen
Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason
Oversized/Trade Paperback; Good
Monday 27 January"7:15 a.m. Hurrah! The wilderness years are over. For four weeks and five days now have been in functional relationship with adult male, thereby proving am not love pariah as previously feared."A new year begins -- and Bridget Jones, the globally bestselling, unflinchingly self-disciplined, and definitely practically nonsmoking heroine, is about to discover what happens when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he hasn't been to the supermarket -- not just tonight, but ever.Lurching from the cappuccino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, searching for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, and Smug Married advice ("I'm just calling to say in the potty! In the potty! Well, do it in Daddy's hand, then!"). Bridget experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of HOW TO FIND THE LOVE YOU WANT WITHOUT SEEKING IT (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay. Wednesday 5 March"7:08 p.m. Am assured, receptive woman of substance. My sense of self comes not from other people but from... from... myself? That can't be right."With another devastatingly hilarious, ridiculous, unnervingly accurate take on modern womanhood, Bridget Jones is back.

Fielding, Helen
Bridget Jones's Diary
Paperback; Good
In the course of the year recorded in Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget confides her hopes, her dreams, and her monstrously fluctuating poundage, not to mention her consumption of 5277 cigarettes and Fat units 3457 (approx. ) (hideous in every way) . In 365 days, she gains 74 pounds. On the other hand, she loses 72! There is also the unspoken New Year's resolution--the quest for the right man. Alas, here Bridget goes severely off course when she has an affair with her charming cad of a boss. But who would be without their e-mail flirtation focused on a short black skirt? The boss even contends that it is so short as to be nonexistent. At the beginning of Helen Fielding's exceptionally funny second novel, the thirtyish publishing puffette is suffering from postholiday stress syndrome but determined to find Inner Peace and poise. Bridget will, for instance, get up straight away when wake up in mornings. Now if only she can survive the party her mother has tricked her into--a suburban fest full of Smug Marrieds professing concern for her and her fellow Singletons--she'll have made a good start. As far as she's concerned, We wouldn't rush up to them and roar, 'How's your marriage going? Still having sex? ' This is only the first of many disgraces Bridget will suffer in her year of performance anxiety (at work and at play, though less often in bed) and living through other people's emotional fuckwittage. Her twin-set-wearing suburban mother, for instance, suddenly becomes a chat-show hostess and unrepentant adulteress, while our heroine herself spends half the time overdosing on Chardonnay and feeling like a tragic freak. Bridget Jones's Diary began as a column in the London Independent and struck a chord with readers of all sexes and sizes. In strokes simultaneously broad and subtle, Helen Fielding reveals the lighter side of despair, self-doubt, and obsession, and also satirizes everything from self-help books (they don't sound half as sensible to Bridget when she's sober) to feng shui, Cosmopolitan-style. She is the Nancy Mitford of the 1990s, and it's impossible not to root for her endearing heroine. On the other hand, one can only hope that Bridget will continue to screw up and tell us all about it for years and books to come.
