    - If you're felling a bit new agey you can read The Alchemist. It's short - will take you about an hour to read, but everyone I know who's read it has been even slightly inspired.

        So sad, it's been that long. I think that's the last book I read without pictures...

- Time Traveler's Wife was high trash, or low art, depending on how you look at it. I usually only read nonfiction or "literature," but somehow a few weeks ago picked up a copy of "Good in Bed," by Jennifer Weiner. Been out a while. Surprisingly well written. Not a literary book AT ALL, but a surprisingly fun read. I'm going to check out her other books for escape lit, and I didn't think I was a person who reads escape lit.

  - Agree with both of your selections. Loved TTW, hated the shlocky movie.
