Zach (zach_francis) | 2 comments Random question: do you prefer books that hit emotionally hard… or books that are more escapist/light?

And why?

The “why” part is always fascinating to me.

Emotionally hitting is ok. Tear jerking is not. Because it's just not, lol

Hi Zach :)

Thank you for interesting question. We all have different levels of sensitivity/emotional tolerance, would you agree??

I have no issues with emotional books whatsoever, but am unable to read descriptions of violence/torture, for example; and I know someone who is just the opposite- violence no problem, but can't handle any emotional complexity.

What about you, Zach- what is your own unique tolerance spectrum with regards to emotions?

:)

Jasmine
