For me: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I had seen the movie but never read the book before. It was a lot better than I expected.

Also what is your current/next book?

I’m continuing the saga with The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy.

    Last book I read was Twilight. Working on the 2nd book in the series now. It’s just a junk food of a book in the best way possible.

      I wouldn’t choose Twilight, but I get the same feeling when I’m reading any romance novel. Not much substance but my mood is ten times better.

        Yeah! Sometimes you just need a brain-off good time.

        I’m a bit surprised by Twilight - it has a couple of moments that are surprisingly gut-punching, like “The familiar smell of my shampoo made me feel like I might be the same person I had been this morning.” That hit me hard.

      I halfway wanna joke and say like “I’m sorry to hear that”, but you’re so right: the different types of stories each serve their own roles - not every book needs to be a brain-twister or expander, sometimes we just need to veg out and relax a minute and a great book can get us there!:-D
