I've been reading absolute crap. When I had my surgery, someone brought me a Jeffrey Deaver book. He's a mystery/detective writer. He is not particularly good, but his books are quite addictive in an odd way. I sent my daughter to the library and she checked out every one of his books that she could get her hands on. I'm on my 9th. They only take a day or two to read, and I guess they're the literary equivalent of junk food. Oddly satisfying, empty nutritionally, yet essential every now and then.
