What is your guilty pleasure of reading?

[bej6s]

I don't think that it's feeling bad because others say it's bad, so much as if I read what I consider good quality literature, I can see the stark contrast with literature that just isn't up to par. Yet, sometimes I read for pure, slightly lazy enjoyment, where I don't have to think hard or I can escape the world around me.
Hence why, my favorite "guilty pleasure" is historical fiction or fantasy fiction; having said that, the plot line still has to be decent and the story somewhat well-written. I can't stand to read complete junk.

I'm not so sure I feel guilty about them but often between classics I like to read something light and humorous like Alexander McCall Smith or Jan Karon, or Anne Tyler's eccentric characters.

I am ashamed to say this but I read all Harry Potter books and L.O.T.R. . It started when I was a wee little lad and everytime I start something like a series I MUST finish it! Is anyone else like that?

No need to be ashamed I have read those books to and loved them. I am a little complusive about finising series once I start them also, lets just keep that as our little secret though.

I read the first two books of Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, and I am urgently awaiting the release of the third.

its not so much of an author but the style: i cant help but read romance novels. and not like danielle steele, but really cheesy, unheard of romances. i read one that was a vampire romance... laden wioth horribly funny sex scenes and vampiric sexual adventures. it was horribly written, but i couldnt puit it down and stop laughing.
