by Maeve Binchy
This book was over 700 pages! Seriously. At one point I nodded off and I think my finger kept moving or something so I woke up to a totally different place in the book, and did not go back.

Yep, I do like Maeve Binchy. I hate the phrase "guilty pleasure." Binchy's books are usually unalloyed pleasure; no guilt involved. Her characters are wonderful.

OMG this is one of my all time favorite books, i have read it countless times, all through the last ten years.
Two sheltered young women come to life in a college. There's plenty of plot, but what I love is the two girls' friendship, and "the wise woman" advice they work out for themselves. One of the best friendships in fiction.
