A slim (64-page) self-help trade paperback written as if by Bridget Jones (Helen Fielding's most famous character). Below, my favorite passage. (This takes up an entire page, and it's one of the wordiest.)
Games
These can be tremendous fun at social occasions when conversation is in danger of drying up, or if guests need distracting from the food. Here is one of my favorites!!
Shag, marry or push off a cliff
In turn, each of the players suggests three names, e.g. Jeffrey Archer, Mohammed Al Fayed, Jonathon Aitken. The person on the player's right must then decide, if they absolutely had to shag one of them, marry another, and push another off a cliff, which it would be.
It is usually best to pick three which are similar in some way.
-- Russell Crowe, Mr. Darcy, Hugh Grant
-- Colonel Gaddafi, the Ayatollah Khomeini, Idi Amin
-- Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Al Gore
-- Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Sting
It doesn't matter if any of them are dead as it is only a game. This is also tremendous fun with lists of real people whom one knows. (Though this can be a little cruel. And should never be played with lists of people who are actually in the room.)
