› Find signed collectible books: 'As You Like It'
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's finest romantic comedies, variously lyrical, melancholy, satiric, comic and absurd. Its highly implausible plot generates a profusion of love-lorn men, a resourceful heroine in disguise, sexual ambiguity, melancholy philosophising and finally a multiplicity of marriages. The ironic medley of pastoral artifice, romantic ardour and quizzical reflection has helped to make As You Like It perennially popular in the theatre. [via]

Now a major motion picture starring Renee Zellwegger and Hugh Grant!
"130 lbs. (how is it possible to put on 4 pounds overnight? Could flesh have somehow solidified becoming denser and heavier (repulsive, horrifying notion)); alcohol units 2 (excellent) cigarettes 21 (poor but will give up totally tomorrow); number of correct lottery numbers 2 (better, but nevertheless useless)?"
This laugh-out-loud chronicle charts a year in the life of Bridget Jones, a single girl on a permanent, doomed quest for self-improvement--in which she resolves to: visit the gym three times a week not merely to buy a sandwich, form a functional relationship with a responsible adult, and not fall for any of the following: misogynists, megalomaniacs, adulterers, workaholics, chauvinists or perverts. And learn to program the VCR. Caught between her Singleton friends, who are all convinced they will end up dying alone and found three weeks later half-eaten by an Alsatian, and the Smug Marrieds, whose dinner parties offer ever-new opportunities for humiliation, Bridget struggles to keep her life on an even keel (or at least afloat). Through it all, she will have her readers helpless with laughter and shouting, "BRIDGET JONES IS ME!"

"HYSTERICAL!"
--The Philadelphia Inquirer
The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation.
They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.
How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it!
"ADAMS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE TREASURES: an author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has reading."

In The Light Fantastic only one individual can save the world from a disastrous collision. Unfortunately, the hero happens to be the singularly inept wizard Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world...

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.
Among Arthurs motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and expert contributer to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee whos gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally).
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhikers Guide deleted the term Future Perfect from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! [via]

Il est vrai que les femmes modernes et célibataires ont également leurs soucis ! Helen Fielding a choisi de nous les narrer à travers le journal de Bridget Jones, 29 ans, célibataire sans enfant et de terribles angoisses. Exemples : son poids à surveiller chaque jour, le nombre de cigarettes fumées, les calories ingurgitées, les pensées négatives et par-dessus le marché une mère extravagante et adultère. Bref, dans un élan de machisme incontrôlable, on pourrait suggérer que ce livre est surtout destiné aux lectrices de Elle et à la rigueur - ce qui est nouveau - à ceux de Men's Health.
Seulement voilà, derrière l'humour pointe l'ironie ou les remarques acerbes sur la gent masculine. Car Miss Bridget, si tourmentée qu'elle soit par son aspect physique et ses carences affectives, est également une féministe, mais de son temps. Elle assume seule sa vie professionnelle et sociale et refuse catégoriquement que les hommes viennent dans son giron pour se faire consoler, la dominer ou l'embobiner.
Ce petit livre, rafraîchissant comme un bouquet de roses pleines d'épines, est pour les hommes un complément indispensable à la lecture de Haute fidélité de Nick Hornby, traitant des affres du célibat masculin. Pour les femmes, il viendra conforter quelques certitudes ou leur donnera des pistes à suivre. --Stellio Paris [via]

Bridget Jones ist knapp über 30, arbeitet als Lektorin in einem Verlag, hat einen aktiven großen Freundeskreis -- eine selbstbewusste junge Frau also. Aber ihr Lebenslauf weist ein großes Manko auf: Sie ist Single. Ein unhaltbarer Zustand, wie auch ihre Eltern, deren Freunde sowie ihre verheirateten Freundinnen finden. Die sie prompt immer wieder einladen, um ihr alleinstehende Männer vorzustellen. Dieses Weihnachten war Mark Darcy der auserwählte Kandidat ihrer Eltern -- ein unmöglicher Mensch, grauenhaft gekleidet, mit dem man keine zwei vernünftigen Worte wechseln kann. Außerdem flirtet sie wie wild mit Daniel, ihrem Chef. Und ihre Freundinnen sind stolz auf sie -- hat sie es doch geschafft, sich wieder anzuziehen und zu gehen, nachdem Daniel ihr erklärt hatte, nur weil er scharf auf sie sei, wolle er noch lange keine Beziehung mit ihr. Nebenbei kämpft sie noch mit ihren Gewichtsproblemen, einem langweiligen Job, dem Single-Dasein als solchem und mit der Tatsache, dass ihre Mutter nun nach all den Jahren plötzlich anfängt auf Männerpirsch zu gehen und ein rasantes Eigenleben entwickelt.
Ein Unterhaltungsroman im besten Sinne des Wortes. Singles um die 30, die schon mindestens eine Diät hinter sich haben, werden sicher vieles wieder erkennen. Die Krisensitzungen mit den besten Freundinnen zum Beispiel, die wohlmeinenden Ratschläge derer, die schon unter der Haube sind (und deren Männer fremdgehen). Und bekannt ist vielleicht auch das Kalorienzählen, die Ausreden vor sich selbst, warum es denn nun ausgerechnet Schokolade anstelle vollwertiger Ernährung sein musste -- und das schlechte Gewissen am Tag danach. Ich konnte auf alle Fälle herzlich lachen. --Daniela Ecker [via]
