"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
All other thing being equal, would you rather read a book that’s hard/challenging/rewarding or light/enjoyable/easy?
I prefer books which are harder to read. And I have a Kafka Quote as my Blog Header, which says it all:
"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us."
Franz Kafka

There is definitely a place for books that challenge us, and there is such a sense of achievement when you finish a difficult book.
My BTT is here if you'd like a look :)
Wound and stab... as long as it's not literal (no dripping blood on my books, lol).
Here's my Booking Through Thursday ~ House Millar series

I enjoy both categories. But if a book is really hard to read, I might not be brave enough to try it!
Here's my BTT answer.
I want challenging and entertaining all in the same book!

I enjoy both type of books.
Mostly light and enjoyable for me.

I like a little of both to balance things out.
I agree with you. Stab and wound. All the way.
