I've realized that I tend to class my fiction reading into three categories:
Books to read for work, books to read for pleasure, and "fluff".
For me, fluff books are things I throw in a bag to read in a waiting room, or as a passenger on a long ride, or even just stuff I enjoy but really isn't a mental challenge. They include anything shorter than 300 pages and things such as novelizations of my favorite TV shows or movies or graphic novels. They're usually paperbacks, to meet that "throw-it-in-a-bag" category.
What would anyone else use as fluff?

What I call "filler books" would are similar to your fluff. They are books that I read while I wait to get a book I really want to read, normally books I have already read and have no need to finish reading it again.

My "fluff" books would be ones that I read when I don't really want to pay attention but I still want to read. AKA romance novels or books I have already read.

Books that I have to read simply because I need a time filler. I read books out of habit, almost like an addiction, so I need a book with me at all times. If I can't find a book I particularly want to read I grab the first thing that I see on the shelf in the library in the fiction section. Sometimes I pick up complet crap( Done this a few times :Sweet: ), other times it's not so bad ( Done this lots of times! ). Basicly, something that satisfies the need to read!

I'd say fluff books for me are the ones I don't really like but I need something to read, because I don't like having NOTHING to read...so I'll read them if they are mediocre, whereas otherwise I'd usually just not bother with them.

My fluff books are the books I have read three times or more and pick up to waste time. At that point I only read my favorite parts though. I also like picking up short books like a few by Patricia McKillip. Short and sweet but still well written those are great short reads.

I would say (most) Manga and any of my little sister's romance-at-a-school books. Very good for reading at school... mrgreen

My fluff books are usually chick-lit books that I finish off in a few hours. Boy, are they a fun way to waste time though! The last one I read was The Washingtonienne.

Fluff.... I'd say fluff is any Jane Austen novel, or this one book Flavor of the Week by Tucker Shaw.
