Kissing in Manhattan by DAVID SCHICKLER- Relatively stylish easy reading with some weird and wonderful twists. Only a couple of hundred pages as well.

 

[absolution*]

an equal music - vikram seth
on the road - jack kerouac

Kerouac eh? His name comes up a lot amongst my arts friends but I haven't gotten around to him yet. What's he like?

 

[MissGeorgie]

thanks =) keep them coming!

It also depends on what's easy reading for you normally. What do you usually tend to read?

Kerouac came recommended by spin spin sugar, the hottest, indelibly scrumptious BOS member youll ever come across. Im digressing. Kerouac is great. Read On The Road.

read a short history of nearly everything by bill bryson. it covers some complex material but is made very accessible. very interesting.

Catcher in the Rye is hardly what I'd call mindnumbing,

Light entertaining reading is something I enjoy... one of the books I loved was Nick Earls' "48 Shades of Brown"

that book was gaylord. and i think that the "suitably mind-numbing" part of the title sounded intelligent and borderline witty in the mind of the poster, but really it just didn't translate all that well onto the screen. i ignored it.

righto, wasnt going for witty or intelligent, but hey, think what you will. i was more hoping for a way to describe the kind of book im after =)

South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami served this purpose wonderfully for me. I don't know if it's for you though, it's about a 37 year old man's midlife crisis. Beautifully written, but I've always had doubts about whether girls would enjoy Haruki Murakami as much as guys.

the harry potters are great for this, i reckon.

try some humorous poetry. Adam Ford's poems are a good place to start - read "Not Quite the Man for the Job". 'tis cool.
