Hi,

I am looking for a good book to read that is also enjoyable! There are so many "must reads" out there, but I am looking for some that is also pleasurable to read (I am thinking along the lines of something like A Fine Balance, everyone says you must read it, which I have, but I found it very harrowing).

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

The Blind Assassin (M. Atwood)? Atonement (I McEwan)? Both wonderful, but Margaret Atwood can't put a foot wrong, IMHO.

A Fine Balance was great too, though agree about it being harrowing. How about some Rushdie (Midnight's Children is amazing), or Vikram Seth (A Suitable Boy or An Equal Music)?

Am watching with interest. I have The Book Theif sitting next to my bed, but am not up for a holocaust novel just at the mo.
Prince of Tides is a fabulous read, but there is a rather dark part.
