Which were supposed to end due to Sue Townsend's ill-health, but are still going strong as Adrian Mole enters his "Prostrate" years.

I bet read back-to-back they'd paint a pretty accurate picture of the social-political backdrop of my entire adult life, and she's actually better at pricking New Labour than she was at attacking Thatcher.
The best running gag - that Adrian Mole fervently believes in his diaries things we already know to be untrue (eg weapons of mass destruction) - extends this time to his feeling reassured that no matter what happens in life there'll always be a Woolworths on every high street, and that the best place for his savings is an Icelandic Bank. Pandora meanwhile is busy fiddling her MP expenses...
Perfect for commuters...
