Right now, I'm reading Tom Kristensen's 'Havoc', which is about alcoholism. I like it so far, but it's taking a while to get through. It's taken me about two weeks so far to get midway through and I'm thinking of setting it aside.
My idea is to recharge with something cheerful and come back to 'Havoc' afterward. But I'm also worried I may not pick it up again because of how heavy it feels.
How long can you normally read a depressing book? And do you stick with it to the end or do you space it out with a palette cleanser?
