December 9, 2010: Inspired by this post: Do you ever crave reading crappy books?
My answer: Yes! Although I don't know if I would use the term "crappy". Maybe "chick lit" or mindless reading. Sometimes I want to read a really easy book that doesn't make me think to hard or learn any lessons! I've always enjoyed Maeve Binchy books because I find them to be very quick reads that are generally enjoyable and don't make me feel sad. I don't, however, enjoy the "Shopaholic" type books because I find them to be way too similar and the female characters always seem sort of pathetic to me.
How about you?
I also don't know what crappy writing is? I do love to read Stuart Mclean for a laugh. His writing actually makes me laugh out loud sometimes. I also love to read The Agatha Raisin Series by M.C. Beaton. She's an older woman (in her fifties) detective who lives in the Cotswolds in England. It's a fun read as the mysteries do have murder in them but there is no gore in the stories and there is humour in them as well! It lets my brain relax and take a holiday from serious reading.
