Lizzie asked Joseph R. Lallo:

Do you have a preferred genre/sub-genre for what you like to read? (Not that we actually allow you time to read as we expect you to spend all your time writing.)

Joseph R. Lallo I read in spurts. Shamefully, once I went full time with writing my reading slowed to a crawl, as I'm perpetually nervous I'll accidentally plagiarize. But when I read, I like things in the sci-fi and fantasy realms, ideally something with a good sense of humor. Jim Butcher writes good stuff. I've got the last few Terry Pratchett books lined up for my next reading spree, and I usually pick up the latest Neil Gaiman.

I also read a lot of non-fiction, because I like to learn and no one yells at you if you accidentally plagiarize reality. That's just called research.
