I'm a fairly broad reader in that my reading often covers a range of genres and purposes. I like reading a variety of works, though graphic details and too dark a setting and story usually ends up putting me off and not finishing what I'm reading. Most of the time I tend to be a pure reader--that is, I'm reading for enjoyment. But there are times when my reading enjoyment extends to savoring a rather deft piece of writerly craft. I'll end up rereading those sections and enjoying them because I appreciate the effect that the other writer is trying to achieve. Sometimes I'll even study it deeper, thinking about how best to apply that to my own work.
