Didn't you hear? She's been fairly depressed, she doesn't need more disappointment which is what the moment when you drop your pants would inevitably manifest itself as.

This also, but ONLY IF she's an experienced, fast reader. The book is very long and is very depressing at times, but the ending is very optimistic and good.

Even after an incredibly excruciating struggle, everything goes back to normal and no victory has been claimed. A harsh, depressing novel, expressing a cornerstone of the human condition: nothing matters.

No idea why though, I already read it and dont think much of it to be honest, if anything it isn't good for depressed people, as the old man fights with the fish for nothing in the end.

>Garrison Keillor 'Lake Woebegone'
Homely small-town vibe, funny in an unspectacular way.

>Jerome K. Jerome 'Three Men In A Boat'
Victorian England, which might not appeal, but very funny if you get into it.

>Helen Hanff '84 Charing Cross Road'
Quiet tale in epistolary form, a woman in New York and a bookseller in London. More-or-less a true story, I think. One for bibliophiles.

>Gaiman/Pratchett, 'Good Omens'
Angels, demons, The Omen & the end of the world, but you know it's all going to end OK.
