(and Iya, too!)<br /><br />Had an old copy of the first book and read it last year. I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my cheeks!<br /><br />My favorite passage: <br /><br />“Wednesday, January 14th<br /><br />Joined the library. Got Care of Skin, Origin of Species, and a book by a woman my mother is always going on about. It is called Pride and Prejudice, by a woman called Jane Austen. I could tell the librarian was impressed. Perhaps she is an intellectual like me. She didn’t look at my spot, so perhaps it is getting smaller. About time!<br /><br />… None of the teachers in school have noticed that I am an intellectual. They will be sorry when I am famous. There is a new girl in our class. She sits next to me in Geography. She is all right. Her name is Pandora, but she likes being called ‘Box.’ I might fall in love with her. It’s time I fell in love, after all I am 13 3/4 years old.” <br /><br />LOL!blooeyhttp://sumthinblue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-23775411221384716592011-09-12T21:05:44.227+08:002011-09-12T21:05:44.227+08:00Hello, Stepford Mum!

I didn't read beyond these two books though, so maybe I should catch up on his later years!Stepford Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743519363331407619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-55275098398169475262011-09-12T13:42:19.686+08:002011-09-12T13:42:19.686+08:00Hi, Sheila!

You can also buy the first book if you want to gauge first if Townsend's brand of humor is your thing.Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-57639575195652320412011-09-11T07:58:27.400+08:002011-09-11T07:58:27.400+08:00This seems interesting.
