I tend not to read modern fiction unless recommended by a trusted friend. Left to my own devices I read a lot of non-fiction, history, biography, young adult and children's books, and fiction that to a lot of people probably seems old-fashioned. I cannot resist an old book; hence most of my collection is used, rather ratty, and well loved.
