The Road less taken

Right now, I am reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It is really intense, devastating and dense reading to get through due to the subject matter, but I like to read alternating types of fiction to give myself some breathing room. I had just finished "Under the Tuscan Sun" and I wanted to read a title that would take me to another place. "The Road" is dark, but rest assured, my next title will be fluffy and sweet. Which in turn will be followed by some macabre and scary tome. I find that I read a greater variety of titles following this formula.
