Suggestions are highly welcome! I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi, though I'll read just about anything that's fairly well-written and doesn't have an overly cliche plot. I don't mind the unconventional if it has an engaging plot. If it's playing around with language and style in a way that's beautiful and interesting, but has a dull plot, I'll fall asleep reading it. Interesting plot is my crack. Along with interesting and complex characterization. I'm going to stop now before I start ranting and make something for dinner.
