There is actually a book called that: Reader's Block. But it is not fun and simple. Camilla Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 07:05:14 PM
How about some Wodehouse?
Other than that, my fallback for these situations is Austen, sometimes Charlotte Brontë; or The Scarlet Pimpernel. Or Dumas. How about Evelyn Waugh? You love him, don't you?
Or Roald Dahl? Jasper Fforde? Pratchett? David Lodge?

Or Dickens? Sorry, my brain does not go many other places these days, and I am desperately craving Bleak House, but I don't have time to read it.

Wilde, Pratchett or something similarly humourous and witty usually helps me at that point. *NM* Stephen - 05/10/2011 06:20:28 PM 441 Views
