I don't read many books these days, though I am reading a lot of webserials, some of which may eventually be published.

I read all the library had of Biggles by the age of about twelve, which was about 80 books (I remember almost nothing from them except that there was a rediscovery of the dodo which hadn't actually become extinct), from there went into the author's sci-fi (which wasn't good sci-fi), and from that into sci-fi in general.
