Reading Rainbow

I am in a total daze today. There are a lot of variables that contribute to this, but I believe a large part may have to do with the historical fiction bender I have been on. Seriously, I need to get on that A&E Intervention show because I am mentally mainlining tales involving frocks, lacings, ribbons, "giving a lord your favors", the word "mayhap," and shan't. It needs to stop. If you have a good book recommendation that is not the KiteRunner (I want a tshirt in the style of "Needs More Cowbell" that says "Needs More Ass Rape"), drop it in the comments.

Nature Girl by Carl Hiassen is a light read and has a few laughs. Nick Hornby's latest (I think it's called Slam!) was pretty good, although if you are going to read Nick Hornby, you should read Long Way Down first. The Road by Cormack McCarthy is good, if depressing. Anything by TC Boyle is usually enjoyable and entertaining. Am I on the right track?
