I sometimes wonder if a book has to be so tragic to be considered literature. Yes, life is where tragedy and comedy meet to produce the ups and downs that dot periods of mediocrity, but I would prefer to read books that do not contribute to the downs. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/298481?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
