Anyone else enjoyed this? Liked the idea of a diary kept on the same day each year (wish I had thought of that). Found the idea that each year we live through the eventual day of our death quite disturbing though. Lots of topical references for those who left uni in late 1980s. Film coming next year.

Loved loved loved this book. Couldn't put it down. My DH has just bought me Starter for Ten which is David Nicholls fist novel but I'm sure it won't be as good as One Day.

Yes my post university life was a lot tamer!

I thought it was wonderful. Couldn't identify with all of it (not too many (any!) drugs in my life) but the timings were spot on. Am about to give it to my best friend (male, but gay!) for Christmas. Hope he doesn't take it the wrong way!
