Canterbury Tales is always a great, fun read. The Wife of Bath is my favorite literary character! Ann Lamott's latest, PLAN B--MORE THOUGHTS ON FAITH is good, and you don't have to be a Christian to relate to it. Another goodie is SHADOW OF THE WIND and anything by Augustin Burroughs (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, DRY, MAGICAL THINKING) and I must say I do like Philip Roth (PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT is hilarious.)
