Reading helps me too. First it was the Harry Potter series...not complicated but long and I could go from one to the next. Then I reread the Hobbit and Ring trilogy. I think then I moved into my Yalom period and read everything he wrote.
I like kid books/boy books too...my kids are readers and I like to be able to talk about books with them. They forced me to read "Eragon" and most recently "Swords for Hire" and "A Wrinkle In Time." I've got them reading "The Time Traveler's Wife."
I'm always looking for books to read. Maybe it helps us quiet the overactive, negative thoughts during the depression?
But you are right, when I'm really in the middle of it, I can't concentrate. Then magazines are my friend!
