If I'm feeling tired, I just want to read something, I enjoy the process of reading, I just want to be carried along. It can't be complete tosh, but it doesn't have to be great, or mentally challenging.

Amazon produces a constant stream of books on sale for < $2 that satisfy the second need.
Good points. I have to be in a particular mood to read some of the better sci-fi books like those by Neil Stephenson. I have to have time to read through because you can't just read here and there for that type of book
