My mother has been reading "The Cat Who..." books by Lillian Jackson Braun for several years now. She has been telling me that I would enjoy them and passed along a few of hers for me to read. Now that school is out and I actually have time to read, I've started on them. They are really enjoyable books--very quick reads. I think this series has been mentioned here before but it bears repeating. (If you are not familiar with the series, it is about a confirmed bachelor newspaper reporter and his two Siamese cats. They are mysteries, and make for great light reading.)
