Yes. I could read only fluff, but I wouldn't be as content after. Some books are a struggle, but it's a struggle I'm glad to have made.

We can always choose better books issy, but sometimes it is a case of the right book at the wrong time.
My plans don't take sufficient account of how tired I can be on weeknights and how it's a struggle to concentrate. I'd like to read mostly harder books, but that's my not reality. Still, I can try to push the marker along that line.

It means something. An enormous proportion of indies are books that no one but the author and his doting mother could like (and she doesn't, really, and wishes he would stop wasting his time and clean up his language).
