Sorry, I got nothing. The last quick book I read was 'The Other Boleyn Girl' which was good, but not a romantic comedy, lol.

I just read 'A Long Way Down' by Nick Hornby - kind of a dark comedy, but a good, quick read.

I always love anything by Jennifer Weiner. Have you read anything by her? They're light and entertaining, but also well written.

I loved Good in Bed and In Her Shoes, but she had another book that I couldnt get into. I also love anything by Tracey Chevalier, esp the Virgin Blue!

Has anyone read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell?
