I'm going to be laid up soon after knee replacement. In between bouts of physio I'll really want some good reads. I plan to load up my Kindle for the duration.
Any suggestions? I don't like thrillers or anything involving jeopardy. Humorous entertaining books are good as are the occasional saga. I've loved some of the suggestions on similar threads: Tarquin Hall and Barbara Cleverly to name but two. Over to you..... (please!)

Have never read any Angela Thirkell, I will look up her books.
bought the Hamish stories by Beaton on my Kindle ( as I liked the tv version) but sadly didn't like them at all.
What about Cold Comfort Farm,by Stella Gibbons ,I Capture The Castle, by Dodie Smith? and September (Rosamund Pilcher)

Rosesared great minds think alike. Those are all favourites of mine. Needless to say I pre order every Alexander McCall Smith book he produces. His books are wonderful. I've seen him at a few book events and he is exactly as you'd expect him to be. Just lovely. And a great giggler.

I once sat opposite him on a bus (those seats near the door that faced inwards) A woman was loudly proclaimimg something daft (slightly inebriated or maybe a touch dotty) He was smiling to himself - I did wonder whether it would appear in one of his books.
