This. I get in various moods for reading. I like many different types of novels and non fiction, but I admit, I get kind of blushy and stuff when admitting to reaching for certain novels that are not in the 'leet discussion group.
I get in different reading moods. Sometimes I want to tackle the Canada Reads or Prizewinners, other times a bit of Chick Lit where girl starts off engaged to guy obviously all wrong for her, then meets the guy of her dreams 2 hours before the wedding.... Stuff that is so goofy to imagine and fun to read.
And yeah, I admit that the percentage of the latter outweighs the former. My husband and I read together for bedtime "dates", and we're currently reading together "The Drums of Autumn".
