I consider myself to be reasonably well read, or rather well read to, as most of my novels come in the form of audio books due to my obscenely long commute. This seems to be a much more palatable option than the alternative of succumbing to road rage. My taste in books is far ranging, but Historical Fiction, Fantasy and Sci-Fi seem to lead the pack just now.
When I write, I write for myself, putting my surprisingly active imagination into words. But like most of us here, I certainly don't mind when others enjoy my work.
