Waders

Anybody want to suggest a book,please, that I would regret not reading? 

Have spent the last few weeks reading photography books and I think a novel would be a welcome change.

Would like winter to end now, please and would like my various friends' stresses and worries to go away. Can anyone organise this for me?

And finally, does it matter which way round you smile   :-)  or  (-:   ?
