Think of the last five things you read. Now think of a type of reading you haven't done recently or have never read. What kind of pattern do you see in reading? What is your favorite type of raining and your least favorite type or reading?

Back then, I used to gravitate toward stories I could easily find myself in - books where the protagonist was trying to find their (usually her) place in the world. Fiction or non-fiction, I wanted to see my life reflected on the page. Did the main character live in a big city? Did she feel lost? Did she have a terribly confused dating life? Did she perpetually try to make it on her own, a la Mary Tyler Moore? Sold.
