I’ll read just about anything that strikes my curiosity, which means I jump around a lot. At any given moment I’ll have an audiobook going in the car (usually historical nonfiction), comic book for my lunch break, essay or short story collection on an e-reader, old classic I’m catching up on, and something lighter recommended by a co-worker. With so many books going at the same time it can take me a while to actually complete one, but having the variety is worth it.
I also love music and film- so much in fact that I obsessively collect vinyl records and co-host a film podcast where I bicker with a long-time friend about our tastes in movies.
