For 'fun', I tend to go for dark, depressing real life stories about physical abuse and addiction - barrel of laughs before a bit o' shut-eye ;o). About to start a book called Auschwitz... good times. Anything 'Bill Bryson' to LAUGH A LOT!! A sucker for a good thriller and, the never-failing, romance novel by, for example, Joanna Trollope. Others I can think of... um... if anyone's even reading down this far... Annie Sebold's "The Lovely Bones" and "Lucky"; Viktor Frankl; Elie Wiesel; Yalom; Rumi; Langston Hughes; Lebagong Mashile
