Community Questions: What matters most to you in a book?
This one comes from Skyguy:
What matters the most in a book for you guys? A well built plot? Interesting world building? Interesting characters? What is the most important aspect of writing for you to like a book?
Well-written characters. It can have the most boring plot in the world, but if the characters (and interactions between characters) are well-writen, I'm down.
Writing style.
I am down for any book, as long as the author can play with the language. It can be long winded as Wallace, or poignant like Vonnegut, or poetic and soft like Haruf, or dry and almost scientific like Asimov, or logic bending like Pratchett, but all these authors can use language like an instrument. This property doesn’t make a book easy to read, but makes it most definitely worth my while.
Must have creative words for genitalia.
