what are some books that are a little bit lighter and fun to

I was in exactly this spot a month ago, taking a break from months of nonfiction with some novels (decent number of nyrbs). Unfortunately almost all so far have been super depressing; Zweig's "beware of pity" left me emotionally concussed for a few days.

With that said, Kingsley Amis' "Lucky Jim" was absolutely hilarious and, as you said, light. Would absolutely recommend it; I'm considering reading more of him soon.

I second Lucky Jim. Most Amis is pretty good. The Green Man as well.

most fiction qualifies. just avoid 900 page tomes, older stuff, famously difficult book, etc

pick a novel and read it, they take like 6-8 hrs

Or this one.
He is my favourite.
He is a doctor and gone crazy. His novels are fucked up.
