For some reason, it took me a long time to get into Sex and the City, but once I finally did I was hooked. (So hooked in fact that there's a lost weekend of DVD box sets and Bailey's.) And now, I miss it. I really miss it. So maybe it's time to immerse myself back in the world of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte with the following books.
First of all, of course, is "Sex and the City" by Candace Bushnell. I read it before I ever watched it and I didn't like it at all and I'm not alone. Worth a read if you're really desperate.
Then there's "Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell" , the official book of the series featuring behind the scenes gossip and loads of lovely photos. Probably the place to go for pics of Mr Big (there are some terrible photos of him online ..).
If you worried you may have missed something while watching the show (maybe you were drunk on a certain Irish liqueur or something ..) then "Manhattan Dating Game: An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Every Episode of Sex and the City" should be able to help you out.
Finally there's "Reading Sex and the City" which is not only a cultural and feminist critique of the show, but also features reports from the "Sex and the City" Manhattan tour and a map of "Sex and the City" New York.
