I've not taken much interest previously although I read a lot. There's a programme on right now which I'm using as a filler 'cos there's not much on. I grew up in the 1950s/60s with predominantly white authors but it wasn't in my face.
MayB I don't interpret words as others do but I rarely look to see the nationality of a book's author.

I tend to read more male authors then female.
No idea why.

Oh, we need a psychologist to work this one out. 🤔
-
;D. ........ my problem is that I read a good book but am not able to remember .......... :-\
I tend to buy according to reviews in the Sat papers and what I see in Postscript and years ago Book People. I'm not crafty but can source suitable books for relatives who are.
I likes a browse in Waterstones usually ........

A few books in recent years I've started and had to put down, a few months later I've got into it to the end.

Shadyglade I'm the opposite😊
So am I the opposite though there are exceptions.
-
I choose a book in a shop for the cover, title and decide if it will appeal. Never look at the author unless it's a book that I am searching for.

I'm similar CLKD. The author I'm interested in after I've finished the book. I open a random page and read it. If it's well written I'll buy it regardless of genre. I've just finished a Marian Keyes and now I'm reading David Copperfield by Dickens. I've read all sorts!
-
I'll read Stephen King before anyone else. Nationality doesn't matter but I also enjoy books written by British authors. I did read a bunch of random books during the lockdown, mostly light stories to keep my mood up.
-
I can't get on with Marian Keyes. ::)
-
Well strictly speaking I listened to Marian Keyes on Audible whilst doing my cross stitch. The Woman who stole my Life. Quite the menopause title ;D ;D
-
Listening and doing Xstitch, there's me: can't even thread a needle ;D
-
Sometimes I drink tea too! The height of multi-tasking! ;D
-
;D ...... does some one made the cuppa for you ...... ?
-
No I manage to do that too! ;D
