Right now I am reading Brave New World with my seniors. This is not a light read. I need balance. I need light reads mixed in with my heavy dystopic, oh no look what we have become, literature. So sometimes, yes sometimes, I read fluff. Right now I have discovered the Sookie Stackhouse novels and am plowing through this series at breakneck speed. If you want a book that requires not a whole lot of thinking, but will definitely keep you entertained- I recommend Charlaine Harris. She’s funny. Think Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, kind of funny. Go on read them, you know you want to.
My daughter’s Sociology class just read Brave New World. She is not an avid reader, so I offered to read it with her. You’re not kidding it’s not a light read. I didn’t read the whole thing, but I did read most of it. Heavy and thought-provoking content in that book. And I was so suprised that my non-reader daughter really enjoyed it. (She read the whole thing) Miracles will never cease…
I really love the Sookie books so far. I’ve read two and have two more on the shelf.
I have got to get to these books. I’ve always used the Stephanie Plum books as a break from heavier stuff but I think these would make a find substitute.
I did! I did! Read ‘em, I mean… They’re some of my favorite books for not-thinking, laugh-out-loud funny, pick-up-an-put-down reads. =)
