What do you read when you're struggling to read what you usually read?

Or to put it another way, what's your junk food/comfort read?

This makes me sound like a total wanker but I reread my favorite Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. I find them both very comforting because generally nice people end up happy in the end.

Definitely with you there on Jane Austen. I like that ultimately everyone gets married and is happy (even if that's not my idea of a happy ending necessarily)
