This time of year, we librarians frequently get asked what we are reading and would recommend for summer reading. Well, I’ve been having a bit of trouble responding because that means I would have to admit that right now I am re-reading Heidi! Yes, Heidi, that childhood classic set in the Alps! I don’t really even know what drew me to reading it–just saw it in a used bookstore, and had to have it.
(What I find even more amusing is the odd assortment on my bedside: Wikinomics duking it out with Heidi!)
So, what is your guilty reading pleasure? What unexpected title have you picked up lately that you are embarrassed to admit to? and were surprised at? Tell what and why?
