Life is hard. I love reading but I read Grapes of Wrath and then 1984 and I just don’t have it in me anymore to read another depressing book. I love great literature though, as I respect great writing as a fine art. What is a book that you think is really good and well respected but isn’t completely depressing? I haven’t read many classics (as you can see by my references above – first time for both books) so I lean towards a modern classic (last hundred or so years…but can be more recent of course). It doesn’t have to have a perfect/happy ending, but I can’t handle the whole book being depraved or only death or only depression the whole time. I’m open to ideas. Thanks so much for your help!
