Since earning my BA in English at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I have eschewed any interest at all in serious literature and have pretty much read nothing but pulp fiction for the past 25 years.
I enjoy those big, thick fantasy series with volumes that make good doorstops and hammers when you're done reading them. I also enjoy SF, horror and mysteries. When I'm not reading fiction, I tend to prefer non-fiction about science and history, especially books on quantum mechanics and m-theory, suitably dumbed down for someone as innumerate as I.
I used to collect comics and role-playing games, and was once part owner of a comics and game shop called The Danger Room. Now that Marvel has cancelled Uncanny X-Men, I've given up comics, and seldom buy an role-playing books except as e-books anymore.
My favorite author is John Crowley, author of Little, Big and Aegypt. I've been reading Steven Erickson's hefty series Malazan Book of the Fallen for the past year -- wonderfully pulpy.
