In For A Long Week...

I suspect that the upcoming week is going to see me putting in sixteen to eighteen hours of work a day, as we have a big deadline looming, and are terribly behind schedule. While I am toying with the idea of taking a sleeping bag to work, and just curling up underneath my desk, where, when the lights are out, the mice play, I really think I should refrain from doing so. With a forty-five minute commute each way, though, I do want some recommendations on books to read. I don't want to read anything heavy, or super-chunky. Just... easy-to-read light books, which I can race through and enjoy.

As of now, I'm contemplating:

  • Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
  • Alice Munro's Too Much Happiness
  • Colleen McCullough's Tim

Do you have any other recommendations? Anything from this list that jumps out? Some Du Maurier? Some Murakami?

Help, please. Thanks, and hope your week's looking slightly better than mine. Just slightly. :)
