Bridget Jones‘s diary

This novel from 1996 by Helen Fielding is written in the form of a personal diary, the main character and writer of the diary is Bridget Jones, a single woman at the age of thirty-something. She smokes, drinks alcohol, feels fat and she is single. At New Year she sets out to lose weight, stop smoking and to find a nice man. Naturally someone like Bridget Jones is too awkward to manage all this in one year; she gets involved in some (more or less) romantic affairs and has to deal with her friends and family.
This book is particularly suited for a rainy day: it’s easy to read and so humorous that while reading it one can forget about time just to look up and see the sun shining again.
