I myself have read a current Czech novel and although it was well written, if found myself feeling depressed when I was done. So, I am like you - I like to read hopeful things :)As far for the "in RICE" expression, I think that being stuck in some overcooked rice is just way worse than being stuck in mashed potatoes or even overcooked pasta)...I don't know..:) Hi Mary!

In a land where so much literature seems to deal with absurdities, either one is possible, I guess. I'm a very literal-minded girl, myself, and absurdities don't much interest me. I prefer to read something positive, hopeful, and uplifting. Anyone have any suggestions?
