And I also like a good use of visual design, hence my increasing collection of deluxe editions of various sequential art forms and artbooks concerning.



The result is that I end up reading a lot of sf/fantasy, historical and/or international detective mystery and adventure/drama (not much for thrillers, unfortunately, since they're much more readily available), experimental literary fiction which probably pays more attention to style than substance, graphic novels...

I used to read a lot of literary fiction. I still dabble in it: McCarthy, Morrison, Eggers. Sci-fi is something I'm getting back into, as well as fantasy.
