Do you have any particular genres you like to read? Do you keep it pretty serious or do you enjoymore light-hearted reading?

I think we've discussed Umberto Ecco before, and you seemed to like his stuff...that would fall under the more serious side.

by nature of my voracious appetite
I tend to read most anything

recently I have been trending mostly toward historical fiction/non-fiction

and yes I adore ecco

but I also enjoy lighter reading like stuart woods or the like

generally I like to have three books going at the same time, one non-fiction, one serious fiction, one light hearted fiction.

helps me balance to my mood, and by switching off between books makes them seem to last a little longer

finishing a good book always feels so tragic to me

Really? Serious?? I've never been able to take Ecco seriously.. and the books just melt through my fingers and are done.

I've only read Focault's Pendulum, and I thought his style was a little ponderous...but I like his characters and plot.

And contemplating ancient mysteries and whacky ass Masonic plots is on the hefty side. When I think light reading, I think of Lawrence Shames, Carl Hiassen and Tim Dorsey!

*grins* Mickey Mouse as the Messiah and Minnie Mouse as Magdalene has always been highly amusing to me. ;)

Light reading to me has always meant indulging into the fantasy and science fiction section.. I always feel most silly. ;)

You seem like the type of person who'd like Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. One of the funniest books ever, but also pretty thought-provoking.
