Need help with main body layout

[forumnz]

Well, I am updating my site to look more appealing (as ya do!) and I am absolutely stuck on the main body (the brown part with all the text). I have just redone the top menu etc and now the main section needs a fix. I want to keep it brown, but was thinking mayber something over the brown, just on the right side, which the text can be more readable on?

 

Thanks,

Sam.
