What Do You Read?
I love reading fiction and non-fiction. I love the worlds of totally made up stories and hard facts. What I read then depends on my mood.
I am really fond of history so historical fiction and non-fiction has a very big thumbs up from me. I've enjoyed a few of the Ben McIntyre books, especially Operation Mincemeat.
To flip the coin over, I love fantasy and adore the Discworld novels of the much missed Terry Pratchett.
Is it good to mix up your reading? I think so. I see reading as feeding my mind so I want to nourish it well from a good variety of sources. Ideas for writers spark from all manner of places so the more open you are (and this includes in what you read), the better.
And now back to writing and reading!
