Re: Do you research a book before you read it?
I hate bad endings or bittersweet endings. There's only a handful of books that I've tried and liked with these endings.
My reasoning for not liking endings other than happy endings? Books are a form of my escape from reality. I want to read something happy, or something with a loving ending.

After I have read a book, or the work of an author I am reading for the first time, I tend to research the book as well as the biography of the author, provided of course that I like the work enough to invest the time. In doing so I often discover details I had missed or interpretations I had not considered. I also like to learn about the author's life and what in their past may have led them to write the book such as inspirations and influences they acquired by reading other authors.
