I feel like I’ve been reading some heavy books lately. I finally read East of Eden which I enjoyed but I did find it a bit heavy. Re-read Of Mice and Men, which we read in grade 9 and now some decades later I was blown away, like… how does a tiny book of 105 pages pack so much weight? Whoa! Then, I decided to read Joan Didion’s Notes to John, The Year of Magical Thinking, and Blue Nights. All three very good, but sad, so add to it that it is winter where I live and I despise winter, and now I’m feeling blue and would like something light, funny, fluffy… any suggestions?
Thanks, fellow book lovers.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but I think you’d really like How To Winter by Kari Leibowitz, PhD – it felt so cozy and was helpful for me.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is a good author for fun and easy-to-read yet layered and original books. You could try Daisy Jones and The Six, Malibu Rising, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Atmosphere.
1.Three Men in a Boat- Jerome K Jerome
“There were four of us—George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were—bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course.”
2.The Diary of a Nobody
“After my work in the City, I like to be at home. What’s the good of a home, if you are never in it? “Home, Sweet Home,” that’s my motto. I am always in of an evening. Our old friend Gowing may drop in without ceremony; so may Cummings, who lives opposite.
&Children’s books are good too(Dr. Seuss n all)
