Assuming that it has it's highs and lows, but overall it's a depressing outlook. Also assuming that it is very interesting and well written. And no, not like a satire.

We know it's depressing from a review, or a recommendation? If there's something to be learned, (and a lot of c**p we have to get really familiar with is depressing) then sure... I guess.

From reviews and recommendations. And there's nothing that you need to learn in the book. I can't think of any good examples, this is just kind of a hypothetical question.

Yes, possibly. As an example, I wanted to read "The Bell Jar" even though I knew it was depressing because I thought the writing would be good.

Trinity, by Leon Uris. A novel about Ireland, it will take a year and a half to read.

How was it? I've always been tempted.It was good. I would recommend it, but it is depressing. And we all know what happened to the authoress....

If it is historical, yes, fiction no.
There is a lot to learn from historical/non fiction that is depressing.
Know the past is the key to not repeating it.

Yeah, I would. The Bell Jar is a good example, as well as Primo Levi's non-ficiton.

uh.....I read depressing books all the time....
they're on human genetics because I'm a science geek but nobody has to know that..... any other science lovers here?
About diseases and such....
Though they got to be true because I refuse to read the made up....
I'll shut up now....

Mental health, now THAT's depressing....especially some of the stuff I was reading recently.

nah, I think anything on diseases is depressing- but very fasincasting.
Haven't done physics yet- I've been reading mostly human genetic diseases, disorders....evolution- escpecially of primates....and nutrition.

Yes, I would.
This book is probably a good example:
Night by Elie Wiesel
It is a great book. Very interesting. Very educational. Very, very depressing.
I think it is the most disturbing thing I've ever read. But I'm glad that I read it.
