Some time ago, I was having a discussion with a friend where it came up that I like those nasty, orange candies known as circus peanuts.  I don't really understand why I like them myself; I just do.  Since then, I've used the term "circus peanuts" in my head as mental shorthand for anything that I like which either isn't any good and/or which I have no distinct reason for liking.  I bring this up because my faithful readers will probably notice I started reading a book which wasn't on my list of planned books, The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.  I will not pretend that this book has the greatest story, characters or writing in the world; however it is a book which I have read multiple times and always enjoyed.  I picked it up to read this morning as I looked over my unread book list and nothing on there appealed to me in the slightest.  So I went with a "circus peanuts" book to have something to read over my lunch hour at work. Then as  I was about to start reading the book, I started to wonder what other people's circus peanuts might be.  What do you think?  What is your "circus peanuts"?
