Aside from a few recommendations that come from people who are into the same things as me, for example Blood Song (Raven's Shadow #1) by Anthony Ryan or The Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan, both of which were picked up by traditional publisher afterward, I will not be reading self-published fantasy or sci-fi novels.
Oh and if I ever start reading romance, there's a big chance I am possessed by demons.

Apart from the fact you're missing the 30's, that's fine.
The best part of self-publishing is that there's something for everyone - both those who want it and those who don't. Besides, those who write it do so for their own reasons, and it's not always for the readers
