Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding

[dollsome]

The rich, divorced-by-cruel-wife Mark -- quite tall -- was standing with his back to the room, scrutinizing the contents of the Alconburys' bookshelves: mainly leather-bound series of books about the Third Reich, which Geoffrey sends off for from Reader's Digest. It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own

I love that part. That and "Auntie Una looks like a tea kettle."

Haha, I never read the books, but I'm so glad that she actually makes reference to the fact that his name is Mr. Darcy!!! That's fantastic!

There's also a running joke about how Bridget is obsessed with Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice! Obviously it had to be taken out of the movies when Colin Firth actually plays Mark Darcy..
