Oh, absolutely! But I've found I'd much rather abandon a steady stream of stuff that doesn't work for me than to limit myself to a diet of works that I already know I'll probably
like. "Like" not "love" being the probable outcome of me sticking hard to a formula that yesterday's version of me favored.
I'm a very fickle reader when it comes to favorite authors /(sub)genres in general. Forget last year (or last week). I'm more of a "
what have you done to wow me yesterday?" kind of guy. If the answer is not much—time to move on to different pastures. At least temporarily, anyway. Anything mind-blowing I may miss as a consequence will still be there (and new) whenever I circle back around.
