You do all that writing, and you don't read? I was like you as a kid--I read six books a week and I had no idea what was going on around me--but now I'm down to about two or three. I love my fiction, and have to have it. It's my great release from RL, when I can forget myself and immerse myself in another world.
It's also wonderful for a writer; one absorbs techniques and feeling for language without even realising it. Mind you, it does cut down on writing time. ;-)
What sorts of books did you read? I think you'd love Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series with its spaceships, politics, and issues of identity.
I loved scifi and fantasy when I was young and I still do. But as I grew older, I began to really love mysteries. I love things that challenge the mind and are well written. I love books that show that the writer has put a lot of thought into the characters by making them multi-dimensional and follow some kind of development.
Yes I love those. I've read all the Wimsey ones. Am slowly making my way through the Campion ones but those are hard to find in bookstores for some reason.

I went to write a letter last night ... and it looked like chook-scrawl. I had to re-draft it.
