Due to the humidity brutally reminding me as to why I hate summer, I spent the bulk of my day curled up in front of an AC, sans technology, to read junk food books. Mentioned in a previous entry, junk food books are those easy but enjoyable reads, often with simple but entertaining characters and a plot that is forgiving enough that your eyes can glaze over and you still know what’s going on.
Some might take the junk food label as an insult, but really, readers need a break from the works that challenge us to make sense out of them, makes putty out of our feelings until we leave the story feeling satisfied but emotionally drained, or are otherwise engaging us on a level deeper than just entertainment.
It’s the difference between watching Con Air and Schindler’s List.
So I figured a list of some of my favorite junk food literature might be of use to anyone looking to expand their library.
