Booking Through Thursday: Equality

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme, hosted by btt2, about (mostly) books and reading.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All other things (writing quality, story, etc), which would you rather read?
1. Something written by a man or a woman?
2. Something with a male or female protagonist?
3. Something funny or something tragic?
4. Something short or something long with many parts?
5. Something simple or something layered?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) It depends on the story itself, and whether the main perspectives female/male. But, I'm not too bothered as long as the writing reads realistic.
 
2) I connect easier with female protagonists, but I've been reading a few with male.

3) Guess it's depends on what mood I'm in, though I do prefer something heavy than light.

4) The shorter the book, the less I feel like I have to time to connect with the characters, and the story doesn't seem whole. The longer a book, the more complex it becomes, and that also might not be a good thing, I prefer something in the middle.

5) Answer #4.
