I just picked up a James Herriot book that I've read before. If you like animals, it's a fun, easy read. He was a country vet in England back in the 60's. Try All Things Bright and Beautiful or All Things Wise and Wonderful.

I'm with New Attitude and mellowmood--didn't think "Curious Incident" light at all. Just a small t/j, after husband read it, he asked his therapist if he could have some type of Asberger's!

Any of the Jen Lancaster books... she wrote "Bitter is the New Black", "Pretty in Plaid", "Bright Lights, Big Ass", "My Fair Lazy." They are memoir type books of her fall from grace after losing her high paying job, having no $, but lots of prada bags. She is a riot and her books are laugh out loud funny.
I also second Jennifer Weiner, I love her books too.

The Bridget Jones books are wonderful.
I also enjoyed "A Girl Named Zippy" and the sequel "She Got Up Off the Couch".
"Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress" was also very funny.
She packed up her potential and all she had learned and headed out to change a few things.

Novels by either Christopher Moore or Christopher Buckley.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Of course it helps to know you *have* enemies.

My screen name is: Am I The Ow? - Not Ami the OW.
Because in my situation I didn't know if I was the OW at first or if I was being cheated on. Found I was being cheated on.
