A couple others...light reading

I just finished two books--you don't need to read the first one before the second, but it helps. Norris Church Mailer wrote them (Norman Mailer's wife). Both are fast reads, not the literary classic sort of books, but definitely enjoyable reads. The first is Windchill Summer and the second one is Cheap Diamonds.
