Books

I'm bored & want something easy but interesting/entertaining to read. Anyone got any ideas for me?

I second that. Great comfort reading.

Possession by Byatt is not the most effortless reading, but extremely worth it.

I quite like the Lord Peter Wimsey books.

Hmm, it's always tricky judging what someone might like.

Roger Zelazny - Lord of Light
Three Men in a Boat
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Richard Adams - Watership Down
Three Musketeers
Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game
Dianna Wynn Jones
Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones
Larry Niven - Mote in God's eye
Vernor Vinge - Fire upon the Deep, Deepness in the Sky

There'll always be...

Cold Comfort Farm.
Also second the V Vinge and any AS Byatt ever -- try the short stories in _Elementals_.
