我想大部分在我这个年龄的男生，都有如下类似的经历和想法：

1）初恋难以忘记
2）女人太过神秘
3）银行没有积蓄
4）生活没有情趣
5）事业毫无头绪

如果你也遇到了这些问题，或者你曾经面对这些问题，那么不妨来看一看这本书。在1982至2002这20年间，Sue Townsend以日记的形式出版了一些系列畅销书，很像如今的Blog。书中以Adrian Mole一个生长在莱切斯特和牛津的男孩子的口吻，表达了各个年龄段男孩在对自我和世界的认识，语言风趣幽默通俗易懂。其中第一篇日记主人公Adrian Mole只有13岁，最后一篇主人公已经55岁。最近每天坐地铁上下班都在看Adrian Mole二十五岁左右的那本书，值得一提的是作者是女性，而主人公是男性。我看后后感慨良多，大概是我也差不多这个岁数，所以给我感触很多。

最后我摘抄一小段让我很有共鸣的段落，我也是最近才明白其中的道理的，看来我和Adrian一样傻，不过Adrian的故事发生在90年代初期，而我生活在21世界了。。。。。。不由得汗一把。文中Bianca是一个和Adrian很谈得来的女孩，和Adrian谈得来的她常常去Adrian家没事找事地聊天，而Adrian就傻乎乎地请Bianca来家里帮忙修东西。Bianca自然以为Adrian也在给她机会，她告诉Adrian她多么希望自己有个男朋友。可是Adrian傻乎乎的，整晚和Bianca一起聊天，也想把她揽入怀抱，但是却怕被拒绝。时间飞快的过去，Bianca竟然无聊地睡着了。她醒来时看起来好像一个伤心的孩子，匆忙离开。

Friday June 21st

Bianca came round avec tool box, but sans wine. She hung about after she had fixed the shower and talked about how lonely she is and how she longs to have a regular boy friend. She asked me if I have a regular girl friend. I replied in the negative. I sat in the armchair under the window and she lay on my bed...

I wanted to join her on the bed, but I was not sure how she would react. Would she welcome me with open arms and legs? Or would she run downstairs screaming and ask Christian to call the police? Women are a complete mystery to me....

While I tried to work it out, a silence fell between us...she fell into a deep sleep...

Eventually, I went downstairs and asked Christian to come and wake her up. He sneered and said, 'You are unbelievably stupid at times.' What did he mean? ...

When Bianca woke up she looked like a sad child. I wanted to put my arms round her but before I chould she had grabbed her tool box and run down the stairs without saying goodnight.
