Harder

All other things being equal, would you rather read a book that’s hard/challenging/rewarding or light/enjoyable/easy?


Umm, I think I'd honestly like to read a book that's more challenging in my free time. You gotta read a book that makes you think, you know? 


I mean, all books technically make you think, of course, but I like my books to force me to mull the theme over again and again. They gotta make me think outside of the box.


A book that is really omnipresent when I think of rewarding books is The Once and Future King by TH White. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. When Sir Grummore and King Pellinore are jousting their asses off and not getting a single blow in, that's just priceless, man.


But the book is more than comedy. It's a lot of other, darker, deeper things too. I haven't quite finished it, yet. (It's pretty darn long, see.) However, I can't wait to read the end!!!

That's the kind of novel I want the opportunity to be around and analyze my whole life. That is the definition of, in my opinion, literature.
