I can read the Internet but I cannot read a book! Fiction, I mean! I cannot focus enough - my mind wanders to my own problems and I do not become one with the book as I used to a long time ago. But I want to try again. Please recommend something captivating.

Hamster,

bill Bryson is an excellent author for the type of reading that you are talking about. Easy to pick up, read a few pages, set down, come back to later. Only you will not want to put this particular book down. Honestly, this book was one of the most enjoyable reads I have ever had, and Hamster, I have read plenty. I wish I could hand my copy to you now. I recommend it that highly.

Good bet is .. Go to Amazon and look at there top 25 books. I have a kindle and I download tons of "free books" and have found some really good authors and some not so good. I read all kinds of stuff. Reading is my escape from my life.

That is a good idea: I will look for Amazon top 25 in my local library.
