Curing Yourself With MOLD

What do you like to read when you're feeling blue? sick? guilty? lonely?

I've found that the Grandma's Attic books by Arleta Richardson are usually good for me to read when I'm feeling restless. They're easy and funny. Don't try reading the classics when your attention-span is about as short as a matchstick. It just makes things worse and makes you feel like you're stupid.

When I'm feeling guilty, sometimes I read non-fiction. But sometimes I find a short fiction book that so completely sweeps me away with the story that I forget about everything else. Are these sorts of books as rare as they seem to me? :(

Other comforting books are:
Murder mysteries - um.... yeah. Please, please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks murder mysteries are comforting in a scare-yourself-out-of-your-discomfort way.
Regina Doman's books - because I've read them so many times. They're familiar.
The Secret Garden - ditto.
The Chronicles of Narnia - ditto
Anne of Green Gables - ditto

What about the rest of you?
