This book is a total find. It’s a diary that rules your life for the whole year, week by week (ex: in January sell mini-sexual favours all week like a hug for £1, or February: Commit all 7 sins this week. The idea is to destroy any chance you might have of leading a boring life. Personally I’m not sure I could cope with doing it for real (and I work for a solicitor’s so would probably get arrested for doing some of the stuff in there…), but even just looking through would make your year more interesting. Very funny. Great design. Recommended!

This diary is so cool. Although there isn't much space provided the originality and humor totally makes up for it. Some of the pages are hilarious, especially if you're having a bad day, guarenteed smile on your face. You get the cool mood meter and the weekly things to do, totally awesome. This is a definate must have, and would be great as a present too. One down side, there is the one page with some pretty gross pictures on however, but these can be avoided easily.

If you are looking for a diary with a twist, this is it. It organises and disorganises your life at the same time. It includes instructions in how to live every week next year. The instructions range from "Stalk a well-known writer and set up a memorable incident that will inspire their next novel" to "Volunteer for a medical experiment". I guess you're not supposed to read it ahead of time, but it's so funny you will not be able to stop yourself.
