I like trade paperbacks, since, as far as printed books go, they feel most comfortable in my hands - and one of the reasons I enjoy chick-lit so much is that I often find real gems and stories about people in books that are often disguised as "junk literature".

I like it because it "goes down easy". And I am glad there is something out there for practically "everyone", for all tastes and moods. So I put '44 Charles Street' on hold at the library.... it looks like a fun read.
