I've missed this
You know what I love about reading fiction?
I can do it while walking places.
For the last four years, a large proportion of my reading has been nonfiction, most of it research for the Onyx Court. Which requires my attention to follow complex sentences and complicated arguments, and often I end up taking notes: not very compatible with strolling down the sidewalk. But if the book in my hands is a Dorothy Sayers mystery? I can jaunt off to the grocery store, no problem, and not feel annoyed that the walk is taking up valuable time, because I'm entertaining myself as I go.
No doubt whatever I write next will require some amount of research. But until then, I'm going to do my very best to read ALL the fiction.
