In the past I've been able to read slow-paced classics which took ages to get going, but now I have less patience and want the story to begin almost from the first sentence.
I'm not into heavy fantasy or sci-fi, but do like historical novels, mysteries (but not horror), detective fiction, humour, books about cats but not where they die at the end. I also like classic children's fiction. I've never read any YA because it's written about an age group (teenagers) I don't have much interest in.
I think one of the attractions writers like Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie is the quaint cosiness of the settings.
