Pirate Latitudes
I love how Michael Crichton just pulls you right into the story and the world of the book. Not his best work, certainly, but not the worst.
The Lion of Wales Series
Being novellas these are quite digestible and I find the series a light read. It’s refreshing to have a love story of mature, consenting adults. And a feisty heroine.
The Shadow of the Wind
It has a kind of meandering pace that allows you to easily set it down and pick it back up again. That’s not to say it’s boring but it’s pleasant. Like putting on a pair of shoes that fit well.
