On the contrary, I tend to get into a mode and like to read books that are just like the WONDERFUL one I just finished reading!!
Hence, huge Heyer buyouts on occasion when doing a Heyer reread, etc. I can switch genres/tones, but it takes me a while, and I don't necessarily enjoy the first book in the switch as much.
Plus, with how stressful my life's been the last few years, I've been sticking to light and fluffy. Thus, been reading and rereading lots of Heyer/Austen/some Nora Roberts/some McCaffrey and am now doing a reread of Xanth by Piers Anthony. Stuff I can get totally engrossed in, but that doesn't get me too emotionally involved and drained. Funny=good.
I've got to be in a generally good mood/unstressed point in life to get into the intellectually/emotionally stimulating stuff. Which includes most sci fi. At least the good stuff!!
