Prescription for Miss Marple: After the doctor had gone, his nurse, Miss Knight, bustled in. "There," she said to Miss Marple, "we look much more cheerful. Did the doctor recommend a tonic?" "He recommended I take an interest in murder." "A nice detective story?" "No," said Miss Marple. "Real life." "Goodness," exclaimed Miss Knight.

In Het dagboek van Bridget Jones beschrijft Helen Fielding het vrolijke leven van een jonge werkende vrouw en haar strijd tegen de overmatige consumptie van alcohol en calorieën, tegen de verleiding van de sigaret en tegen het allesoverheersende verlangen naar de Enige Echte, de ware Man. Bridget Jones, voorbeeld voor velen, is inmiddels een begrip: met haar hilarische en meeslepende notities veroverde ze een miljoenenpubliek. De blunderende Bridget, haar trouwe vriendinnen en de serpenten die op haar toekomstige minnaar azen zijn nu al uitgegroeid tot iconen van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Dat Het dagboek van Bridget Jones verfilmd is, door de makers van Four Weddings and a Funeral nog wel, mag dan ook geen verrassing heten. Dat de film hilarisch is, met in de hoofdrollen Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant en Colin Firth, evenmin. Maar dat het boek nóg leuker is - dat spreekt vanzelf. En even lekker te verteren met popcorn en cola, véél cola, en ijs ('1700 calorieën, z. slecht').
