Reading on the Camino

[biloute]

I've been reading a lot while on my Camino and don't feel like re-reading any more books. I usually go with fiction, but I might be open to something non-fiction if it's interesting/entertaining enough. No self-help or religious stuff though, please. I'm reading for entertainment and fun, so nothing heavy. What would you recommend that would be available either on the Nook or Kindle?

bit predictable but anything by Bill Bryson would be my go-to.. such an easy and entertaining read

I thought I would read much more than I actually did on any of my caminos. I had either my kindle or an ipad with the kindle app on it with me each time except on my first few caminos where neither amazon nor the kindle even existed. I found I spent most time either people watching or chatting to people every day. Often I was just too tired to read. When I did read though, it was usually science fiction or biographies. I think I even read the descriptions on the back of the Lozano maps once or twice!

I didn't read much on the first half of my 2016 Camino. I had a Kindle app on my phone and some e-guidebooks and "good books" to read, but reading the good literature seemed like too much effort. Then my wife reminded me that I also had an Overdrive app on my phone and could borrow e-books from the library. I started to borrow some easy reading books and found them more relaxing to read in the evenings. I didn't spend all my free time reading by any means. Socializing with other pilgrims was the priority. But I did a lot more as a way to wind down.
