World Enough and Time

I find that the interesting thing is that books which depress some people don't depress others, or vice versa. And I find some books depressing that other people don't - for instance, I find The Curse of Chalion hard to read because it reminds me so vividly of feelings I had when depressed. While certain -shall we say, emotionally intense - scenes in Dunnett are my favourite, even though terribly sad things happen in them. It's all different triggers. Maybe the difference is that death, in general, doesn't depress me, but suffering often does.
