literary SOS

hey all y'all.

When final time rolls around, dont you find yourself spending unholy amounts of time thinking about things that have no relevance to the near future? For instance, yesterday i spent a good hour and a half looking at my schedule for next year, searching through classes, and trying to make my final exam schedule a little less horrifying....which I didnt accomplish by the way. I was also thinking about doing some reading this christmas break. Since I'll be going to India, I'll be spending a good two days in the air, so I thought some fictional companionship would be a nice alternative to staring at clouds, which is only entertaining for an hour...two at most.

So here's where you all come in. I need some suggestions. I usually judge books by their covers (you know you do too), but I find that whenever i read a book thats been suggested to me (by someone other than Oprah, who can keep her opinions to herself...Oprahs book cult I say), Im usually pretty pleased. So what Im looking for is some light reading... a book that doesnt require an english lit class to decipher its meaning. Other than that Im not too picky. So yes, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
