Ok, I know I asked something similar a few months ago, but now it's getting closer, so...
It's going to be more or less 2 weeks before my first baby is born, and after that, I'm afraid I won't be able to read for a long long while (so they say)
Now, what single novel would you suggest I should read before the long fast I'm going to face?

Not a novel but I'd still recommend What Do You Say After You Say Hello? by Eric Berne.
What novels to read when one's pregnant…

I think you should read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the following four books, by Douglas Adams.

But then I always tend to think people should be reading what I'm reading (or re-reading) at the moment.

I still reccomend Louise Erdrich. And Barbara Kinsolver. Great novelists who grapple with themes of motherhood and don't back down about the bad parts.

thank you all :)
I just read the Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy Trilogy in four books a couple of months ago...and will look for Erdrich and Kinsolver, whereas I haven't been able to find Berne's book...

Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. Although it might make you leave your family. So maybe you shouldn't.

one month passes...

I second the "Revolutionary Road" nomination.

Not be reading? You're going to be reading some great books, classic children's lit. Spot, Janet and Jill (or whatever monikers they go by now), then later Famous Five and Roald Dahl.

And great things like The Story Of The Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of his Business
