Booking Through Thursday – Tragedy or Comedy
Posted on August 8, 2013 in Books
All other things being equal (good writing, enthralling story, etc), which would you rather read—something serious, angsty, and tragic? Or something light, fluffy, and fun? Or a blend of both? (Since, really, isn’t that how real life works?) – BTT
I try to balance my reading to be both light and serious. I think it veers slightly more to the serious side these days especially with all the non-fiction. I like to escape to books, but I’m more willing to escape into something completely different albeit more serious than for the TV or Movies I choose (which are firmly more comedy/dramedy). I’m more tolerant of angst if it’s in the written form.
These last couple of weeks, I have been more in the mood for something light and fluffy. It all depends on one’s mood relative to everything else going on in life.
How about you?
I like a mix of both.

Thanks, TBM!
I think I would say I prefer a mix as well. Too much angst and upset would put me off reading a book.
Hi Jessica! Oh, definitely, but a lot of classics are more on the serious side. Still, I read light things between them. Hope you’re well. Cheers!
