1. Do you mostly read books illustrating pain or books illustrating joy? Why?
2. Do you see books about pain as more intellectually valuable? Why or why not?
3. Why do you think major book prizes like the Booker and the Pulitzer mainly award books about pain?
4. Do you use and agree with the phrase “guilty pleasure”? Why or why not?
5. Do you think books centering joy are guilty pleasures?
6. Do you read in secret? Are there books you read but never talk about because of embarrassment, shame, or guilty about liking them?
7. Who do you tag?

I tag Mo at Ana Mo Shoshin: youtube.com/channel/UClPkVNjQxG79IBr6Iu1EFPg/videos

Mo's channel is all about the backlist books she reads, sustainability, some ASMR. She's so fun.
