Entirely depends on my mood.

Books that make me laugh I reckon. I’ll deliberately set out to find a funny book, but never to find one that makes me cry.

I love to laugh, but I rarely will pick up a book only because it is funny. When I think back on my favs, they made me cry.
Good question, got me thinking now….?

I don’t usually read “funny” books or ones that make me cry. I enjoy a book that elicits one of those responses, but I wouldn’t choose one based on it.

I have a good sense of humor, but I have never found “funny books” actually to be that funny. So I guess my vote would be sad, although it has to not be entirely depressing.

If the storyline is good, I don’t mind crying and laughing. After all we read books to experience what the characters are going thru!

Cry, bcos somehow those are the ones with the heavy content that make you ponder and think. Light stuff bores me after a while. Although when I was younger I have enjoyed PG Wodehouse a lot?
