Thanks for all the recommendations.
As to the sort of books which normally interest me:
anything which has a cat in it, but not a sad ending; historical fiction, preferably British or European, though I also like novels which have a sympathetic view of native Americans; my fave books are "A Fine and Private Place" by Peter Beagle, "Nicholas Nickelby" by Dickens, "Castaway" Lucy Irvine. Other genres include gritty romance (not erotica, but not totally sloppy), whodunnits, books with mystery but not gory horror. I can also be found reading classic children's books: love Enid Blyton.
I'm not so keen on sci fi, books centred around dogs or horses. The author I dislike most is Jane Austen - reading her is like wading through glue. I'm not too keen on the fantasy genre, but light fantasy which doesn't involve crazy worlds, I might try.
I hope this helps.
Thanks again.
