I'm burnt out. It was a tough semester and I did a lot of intense reading - from dense literary theory to four huge 19th century novels. And now that I'm done school for a few months I don't know what to do with myself! I've been wanting to read both Little Dorrit and Shirley but I can't stomach any more of the 19th century just now, to be honest. I have some Anne Tyler on my bookshelf, as well as David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas. I've been planning a re-read of Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami as well... I just can't make up my mind. I've started and put down three separate novels.
What kinds of things do you read when you need a bit of a palate cleanser, so to speak? I think I might try some Agatha Christie.

Hmm, Agatha Christie and Anne Tyler both sound like good break-reads. I'm thinking of picking up Angels and Demons although that may be too much of a "candy break." There's always Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!
