I've been trying to find something to read that would be amusing, fun, and not about sex, murder, war, or some other form of depression. I finally found a wonderful book...
The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, by Walter Moers.
If you're looking, like I was, for a book you can read without the fear of violence and sex etc...then I would totally suggest this book.
Not only is it AMAZINGLY written, but it's imaginative, humorous, long (not sure about the exact pages, but it's a fat book), and ILLUSTRATED.

I was so happy to find it. Read it for something to give you a rest and make you laugh and smile.
