As usual, I’m a bit late getting this week’s Booking Through Thursday meme up — but at least I didn’t forget it altogether, as I’ve done more often than not!

Have your book-tastes changed over the years? More fiction? Less? Books that are darker and more serious? Lighter and more frivolous? Challenging? Easy? How-to books over novels? Mysteries over Romance?

My tastes have definitely changed over the years, and not necessarily for the better! When I was in high school and college, I enjoyed working my way through the classics. Not “true” classics, as in ancient Latin and Greek lit (though I tackled a few of those as well), but the kinds of books published by Penguin and Signet.

I guess I must have burned myself out on those types of books, though, because now I prefer to read much lighter fare, such as mysteries, thrillers, and the like. For example, I read a lot of Agatha Christie these days, as well as Michael Connelly, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Stephen King, and similar stuff.

It might not be a reading list to make my former lit teachers proud, but hey, at least I’m enjoying books again!
