Previous Post Just as I view this board as the de facto music board for our community, I see it also as the book board. Do you read prose fiction? What genres do you favor? My own favorite is sword and sorcery. I came to it through comic books - specifically Conan - but over the years I've enjoyed many authors and many characters. I don't know if you're aware, but there's a sword and sorcery magazine currently publishing, called Tales from the Magician's Skull. Here's a link: https://goodman-games.com/store/product/tales-from-the-magicians-skull-no-7-pdf/ It funds its new issues through Kickstarter. As a boy, I was an avid sci-fi reader. Lately I've less interest in reading that genre. I satisfy my sci-fi appetite through television and movies. Back when I was a boy, this wasn't as easy to do. We didn't have an endless variety of sci-fi shows and films available on streaming services like we do today. Do you read less of any genre because nowadays it's readily available on the screen?

I was going to say I don't read much anymore but I read lots of articles and things online. But books, not so much.

The most recent was probably I got on an H.G. Wells kick and I read three different versions of The Time Machine. Two were the original magazine serials before it got collected into the book, which I had to find online. Then I read his Dr. Moreau and I only got halfway through War of the Worlds.

The last time I was reading a lot of books was the early 2000s when I was really into pro wrestling and I read about 20 wrestler bios.

When I was younger I read a lot of Stephen King novels and all of Douglas Adams' books. I didn't branch out too much. I was always a very slow reader. My brother and my other friend could get through a novel in one sitting. It would take me weeks. I think my mind always wandered too much. Maybe that's why I liked comics better. The artwork kept me focused on the story.
