When I am healthy and busy it seems I seldom have any time to read but, give me the start of a flare and suddenly I am down for the count and with nothing else to do I grab for my books as a means of entertainment and distraction.    I have favorite types of books that I like to read during my flare times and these are Harlequin romance type of books.  I like these because they are short, small and take me to exotic places and give me all the feel good feelings that love, comfort and excitment bring with them.  If I fall asleep while reading my dreams are usually happy ones and these books usually have a very happy ending and since I am not usually feeling very happy these books are a great way to remind me of happier times.

What about all of you......What are your favorite types or titles of books that you like to read when you are a bit under the weather from your Crohns or Colitis?

I like to read self-help books/ motivational books. During my last abcess surgery this summer I read a true story book about a woman who became blind due to Diabetes and how she has triumphed and risen above her circumstances. Books like these help raise my spirits.
