Flist, quick: recommend me books! Quick, do it now! I just finished the six Chrestomanci books - so much fun, yay - and am waiting for Mixed Magics to come from home; I have one more of the dreadful Swendson books to go. After that, no more. And seriously, seriously, books are keeping me sane right now, I can't emphasise this enough, I really can't.
So, what are your favourite books that I should read? Brownie points for: light and fluffy; SF/fantasy; preferably both at once; I also adore YA more than is quite normal, so also brownie points for that; really would prefer paperback (so I can carry them around). Nothing super-serious, please, I really am reading for escapism here.
(Also, if Ithaca has any good bookshops, I want to know about them, please. There are a couple of nice second-hand ones downtown; for new books, though, I feel like I'm doomed to a) the campus bookstore, about which less said the better; and b) Borders. Neither of which have Three Men In A Boat, a book I set out optimistically to buy today.)
