Why?
Cause tragedies are often much closer to reality. After all, no 'happily ever after' endings exist in this world since every human would die one day, and the once 'happy' ending would somehow turn wistful. But that doesn't reduce the beauty of life.
And, tragedy makes the blissful, beautiful moments in a novel much more memorable. Ephemeral things left the most lasting impression, after all. Nostalgia simply taste divine; it left a lingering bittersweet aftertaste in your tongue that's impossible to forget.
As an appreciator of beauty, and life itself, of course tragedy sits on top of my reading list. Even if it tortures my heart.

You are a masochist
Depression is contagious. I rather avoid it but tragedy is a money maker.
Look at zombie and apocalypse stories which are very popular.
Tragedy for the sake of tragedy pisses me off because a story without a pay off fails as a story.
It's supposed to be entertainment. Real life is bad enough.
I would read non fiction if I want to be down ARRGHHH!!

I guess I like some tragedies, because it really shows the reality of a story. Some things which can't be changed or even when these characters try to fight against their destiny, fall back and succumb to their reality.
The Manwha "Immortal Regis" is one tragedy I have favor for. You can read a spoiler by reviewing the protagonists character profile here.
It's not entirely considered a tragedy depending who you converse with, but I consider Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory a tragedy.
