Need a break

I am currently reading this book and last night saw this movie and find myself steeped in Nazi Germany. This has some unpleasant side effects. For one, I am always hungry. The characters are always starving, and even though my tummy is full, find myself needing to eat. Then there are the nightmares. How can some people treat others this way? I simply cannot get my head (or heart) wrapped around it. Needless to say, I need a break and will be looking for something light to read next!

Yes! The Book Thief is terrific. We read it last year for book discussion group.

Have you read "Away" by Amy Bloom?

No, have not read "Away". Any good?
