It's my favorite novel. Then again, I love low key drama. <br /><br />I can't remember the last really good book that made me laugh- but if you're desperate for a giggle go to YouTube and search for Brian Regan. He's hilarious (and clean)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984184121584258371.post-84707331064429222892010-06-17T17:31:17.832-07:002010-06-17T17:31:17.832-07:00I used to adore Julie Garwood and Amanda Quick.

Funny and fun too often have a flippant and sometimes condescending tone and voice to them.<br /><br />For me, light reading is a straight-up action man-book, something in the same section as Clancy (I've read too many Clancy's to read anymore of them...).<br /><br />I drive 50min each way (on a good day) five times a week.<br /><br />And my CD player is busted...<br /><br /> - EricEric W.

Yes it is dark, but there are high points along the way, and a few real big ones toward the end.<br /><br />I think dark themes are much more interesting than happy go lucky themes and they catch people's attention, drawing them in. <br /><br />That is a long commute. I drive an hour and ten minutes to one of my jobs, but it's only one day a week. And yours is three. Good for you for filling in the time with books!Aubriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884036126491922530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984184121584258371.post-73072083880654273522010-06-17T08:07:44.834-07:002010-06-17T08:07:44.834-07:00I remember thinking Garrison Keillor was pretty fu...I remember thinking Garrison Keillor was pretty funny.
