Light Reading
Light reading is something I do all year round. When the world is being especially grim, as it is right now, then that’s the time to turn to books that help you escape.
I was not surprised the sales of Wodehouse rocked up during the pandemic. People need an escape and lighter reading can be a great way to have that escape. (Especially if you really can’t go anywhere to get that escape another way!).
Light reading for me also includes reading short stories and flash collections, no matter what their theme. I just love short reads (and getting plenty of value for money by having lots of stories in one book!).
I do wish genre fiction wasn’t looked down on by some. It is snobbery.
Genre fiction helps subsidize the more literary works and everyone has different tastes in books anyway.
