Nothing academic or literary. Popular fiction only. Admit those cheesy romance novels with heaving bosoms and turgid members. The lurid thrillers and spy novels, cozy murder mysteries and urban fantasies. Go on, spill the beans.

Ooh I like this thread...after a day spent working on my thesis I like to read that kind of thing.

Currently on Eva Rice's 'The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets'. Only just started it, but it seems good so far!

I have so many books on the go right now, dotted all over the house so that if I fancy a read, I don't have to look far.

By far the fluffiest is Simply Divine by Wendy Holden. The others are all slightly more highbrow. Not a book for my dissertation in sight. Ho well.

Any Buffy novels- it's like watching a brand new episode in my head...

I just finished The Devil Wears Prada... before it was that new Sophie Kinsella book, and now I'm contemplating The Washingtonienne. But only because of the big scandal, of course...

I'm about halfway through the Aubrey/Maturin series. It's sort of fluff -- all about virile men jumping around buckling swashes.

Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series- so good, set in 1970s San Francisco and full of scandal, smalltown girl moves to the big smoke and meets "characters". Totally recommend them.

i've been (re)reading elizabeth peter's vicky bliss novels and kelley armstrong's books.

elizabeth peters writes mysteries...and they can be so romantic and funny.... and kelley armstrong writes pretty good supernatural stories, i love her characters.

For shame! Shame! Aubrey/Maturin is most definately literary, not fluff. It has too many long words and excruciating long and painful descriptive passages to be fluff reading.

(I do like the books, really... I'm re-reading them actually, but they can be a drag sometimes...)

Embarrassingly, I get through one of these cheesy romance novels a day. Just finished, 'The Detective's Dilema' - lucky I can remember any of their titles and remembering the authors is always a dead-loss. I am now trying to get into a more mind-stretching book - 'The Geographer's Library'. I have too much time on my hands...

Oh, also just finished 'Twelve Sharp' by Janet Evanovich. Best popular fiction/chick lit/comedy-crime book I've read in a while and it's much better than her last couple. Good for a laugh!

I have just read Jeremy Clarkson's 'I Know You Got Soul' and the other one.

They were very good.

Finished Riders. Read a Fiona Walker one... "Lucy Talk" I think. Now re-reading Ben Elton's "Past Mortem". It is DEFINITELY worth a read!
