Light Reading
I have a soft spot for what could be considered “light” reading.
By this I mean humorous fiction (Wodehouse, Pratchett), short story and flash fiction collections (though I should add some of those can be dark in tone though they are not especially my cup of tea), and the kind of non-fiction which entertains me and helps me learn something new at the same time.
I definitely don’t want academic works. My experience of those is they don’t read well, at least to me, and there is often far too much jargon in them.
Novel wise, I’m not after the dark, grim ones. Am not a huge fan of dystopian fiction. (Especially since you could argue we are seeing so much of those themes on our news bulletins!).
I do love crime fiction (and the ones that can combine humour tick a second box for me).
I like feel good literature. For me. It is one major point to reading. Books and stories should take you into their worlds. They don’t necessarily have to be dark ones.
