So what do you read when you're not feeling well?

[VelmaD]

My stomach won't calm down long enough for me to go to sleep but I don't feel like sitting up for too long at one time either. So I've been mostly laying on the couch reading. Got through a book printed back in 1980 about the state of the resisitence in Afghanistan and another written in the mid-70s on gender relations in the Muslim world focusing on Morocco as a case study. I usually find non-fiction like that fascinating...usually...but it's just not holding my attention today. And there's a long long afternoon staring me in the face.

Any suggestions on what to do to occupy my brain today would be greatly appreciated.

1. The obituaries

OK...so I'm a bit dramatic when I am sick...sue me

3. Heeeeeeeeeeee

You are a wonder. That made me giggle. :loveya:

2. Holy crap Velma, those are some seriously deep books!

You need a romance novel, full of good old-fashioned sex! That'll take your mind off your stomach ache!

[VelmaD]

4. I own very few books that would qualify...

as "romance novels". They just aren't my thing. :shrug:

5. The inside of my eyelids

I usually try to nap things off. Even if I don't get any actual sleep, I end up feeling better anyway. Drinking Pepto out of the bottle is not out of the question for a seriously upset stomach.

6. I'm in touch with Pepto outta the bottle...

my momma would be so disappointed in my lack of manners, but oh well. It works and I don't have to wash a spoon.

9. Hey! That's what I'm here for!

10. I ususally curl up with a good John Grisham or James Patterson novel...

I love stories about forensics and lawyers!

[VelmaD]

11. For me it's usually spy novels...

or intrepid heros and heroines comitting brave but unsung deeds behind Nazi lines during WWII. For some reason nothing is holding my interest today. :shrug:

12. I usually sleep.

But with the upset tummy. Right now I am reading Pegasus Bridge by Stephen Ambrose. Abotu the 6th Airborne Division and the coup de main that they performed before the start of D-Day. It is a pretty good book.

13. A Robert Jordan maybe.

14. magazines; or a reread of something I have read before

reduces the level of concentration needed.

Humor is good when you are sick. I like the "Cat Who" books for extremely light fiction.
