Boring stuff. Any shimmer of interesting information immediately clouded by all-encompassing dullness.

What have you enjoyed reading lately? I am picking up my habit of reading in bed (instead of reading course materials, hehehehehe) and I'm looking for suggestions.
Nothing too profound, though - I am a shallow girl. Postmodern novels where you don't know who's going and who's coming demand more of me than I am willing to give. So Marques and such are about as deep as I am happy to travel 
May not be a classic or profound but it is my favorite story
you can get it from amazon..

The Life That I Have
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Ah! A war story. Haven't read it (mind you, there's stil LOADS I haven't read) and it sounds interesting. I'll see if I can get it in the library. If not, I'll invest
Oh right THAT sort of "novel suggestions"
I was going to say have you ever tried doing it in a hammock when covered in baby oil, but you want books...
I will get my coat and leave.
ahem.

Hey, hey, don't hold back! I'll take whatever you can give

That suggestion needs a Don't Try This At Home warning. I see tangled broken bodies.

I'd suggest Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. Possibly the funniest english novel of all time and the last chapter is IT in terms of romance. I will marry Charles if it's the last thing I do with my burning embers!!!

Sounds extremely promising!

I'm still on my anything-by-Michel-Faber trip.

Michel is on the list! I'll let you know which one I tackle first.

I've been reading one of Michael Crichton's techno-thrillers, State of Fear.

I like Michael Crichton! I've read some of his novels, but I don't think I've read this one.

It is one of his more recent... and more controversial
