Catherine Asaro is my ultimate comfort food. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 04/05/2011 04:07:15 PM
You know, when you don't want to read anything challenging, just something comfortable and lovely.


"Skolian Empire" books by Catherine Asaro. The books are fast-paced, easy to read (but the writing not simplistic, they are just very easy to get in, the words just slide into your brain), even if I've read them several times before, I get entirely caught up in the book and can't put it down. Ultimate comfort food.
