Secret reads

I admitted to one of my secret reads a short while ago, then I discovered today that I wasn't on my own in having them. In a Daily Mail article a survey has found that many adults admit to reading something "worthy and fashionable" when instead they are enjoying a "children's book or a bodice-ripping romance".

According to the YouGov survey children's stories such as those by Roald Dahl, Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter are still read by seventy five percent of adults. Also on the secret list are Little Women, Jilly Cooper, Mills and Boon, Bridget Jones, Adrian Mole and interestingly, The Kama Sutra. (Little Women, Bridget and Adrian are in fact favourites of mine and, in my opinion, nothing to be embarrassed about ).

So, anyone else dare admit what their secret read is?
