Bridget Jones is my hero right now

i'm reading Bridget Jones's Diary right now and am delighted. the front cover exclaims it's "screamingly funny"...and IT IS! i don't remember the last time i laughed this much while reading a book. i probably never have.

i feel oddly connected with "Bridge" because of her unhappiness with herself...with her weight, her love life, her calorie intake, etc. she's single and she hates herself, but yet she's so magnificent. i'm borderline obsessed with the book right now.

i am just excited a piece of literature could give me so much joy. i love that i'm out of school and can read for pleasure now. it makes a world of a difference in the way i read. love it.
