I'm not reading the article, because it must be about books for women 'cause guys don't CURL up with books.

I've been making my way through Thomas Lynch's "The Undertaking". That man is a master wordsmith - what could be one long, depressing dirge is, instead, inspiring, insightful, and eloquent. I highly recommend it.

Was looking forward to reading "The Boy Who Harnassed the Wind". I really like Barbara Kingsolver. I will read the book to find out why it rated so low.

DOG ON IT by Spencer Quinn

Best book ever - easy reading, clever writing, laugh out loud adventure. If you like dogs this is tops.

OK - maybe not the best book ever written in the world - but I have to say as an avid reader of all sorts of books - this one stays consistantly on the top of my list - maybe because it is really a fun fun book, and there isn't a lot of fun going on right now.

Not wanting to challenge anyone else's favorites - just offer a good light hearted fun book - if you like dogs that is.

Thanks for your input.

This looks like a great read as well as bright sided. There is new light in all of these positive, uplifting books in times of turmoil, that I find fascinatingly helpful.

In that vein, an excellent and uplifting read is Rob Brezsny's "Pronoia: How the World in Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings". It's a treasured favorite when I need a pick-me-up.
