I call books that are nice, light and easy to follow easy reading books. They are the ones that you can pick up, put down and walk away from for days before returning and you’ll still be able to follow and remember everything that you’ve read. I tend to read these a lot as they are a nice break from studying and researching – you don’t have to think as much when you are reading them which just makes them that much more enjoyable and easy.
