• Reading new cartoonist Kerou, at www.kerou.net mind you it's not so much about the guilt as the pleasure, does a cartoonist count as literary I think this one should qoute " They bill me therefore I am."

• @snider I've heard Carrie Fisher's memoir is quite funny--what did you think of it?

• Harry Potter! I'm 49 and an aspiring novelist, and I re-read the series every summer.

• Taking three heavy lit courses drove me to read the entire Harry Potter series.

• In between larger novels, I'm hoping to read the Sookie Stackhouse books at one point. (But only if I can manage to borrow them. ha.)

• As an English Lit major, I felt compelled to buy the complete works of the Brother's Grimm and Jane Austen for a bit of 'light' reading for the summer, and have not started reading either. I find myself re-reading Harry Potter in preparation for the movie coming out this month, as well as some new books by Laurell K. Hamilton, and Nora Roberts. You know what they say about good intentions...

• The Host by Stephenie Myers. I'm a sucker for feminine science fiction. And yes I read the Twilight series, it was my guilty pleasure earlier this year. I was (barely) coerced by my younger sister.

• Also known as "cotton candy" reading... I too indulged in Twilight as a guilty pleasure. Anything that combines magical realism, romance, and a happy ending is cotton candy. "A Girls Guide to Witchcraft" is another book that falls into this category...

• Taking Mind-Body Interaction really inspired me to want to learn more how the brain and body work, so I find myself reading psychology articles and journals on random websites. :)

• The Sookie Stackhouse series was supposed to be my summer guilty pleasure but I'm on the second book and find them to be quite boring. I think I will end up taking a break from them and instead read World Without End, the follow up to Pillars of the Earth, which I absolutely loved.

• The Stackhouse novels are fabulous! They're hot and sexy and fun and thrilling and perfect for reading on the beach or by the pool. Ms. Harris creates a great character who's easy to root for. She's sassy and sweet and very girl-next-door. Read them! At least when you take a break from something more serious.

• The "Princess Diaries" series. I planned on reading as much Jane Austen as I could, and ended up with mostly "chick lit." Also the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

• Anything by one of the latest crop of Jane Austen/Georgette Heyer genre: but I refuse on general principles to read that new Jane Austen Zombies book! One must preserve some dignity! Romances were a secret sin for many years, but ...even...I could...not...read...Barbara Cartland...without...going ..into...dot..dot..dot..paroxysms!
