What do you read when you're struggling to read what you usually read?

Or to put it another way, what's your junk food/comfort read?

I had written a reply but the site went down and ate it!

I read almost exclusive sci fi but when I feel like something else I really enjoy something like Steve Berry's Cotton Malone books or Dan Brown's Langdon books.

I love getting sweeped away in modern day indiana jones like stories about secret societies, myths and historical facts intertwined with fiction.

Extra credit to Berry for always ending his books by telling you what was real and what he embellished.
