Very early, late teenage years or so, I decided not to sort things by genre, but by what I deemed the inherent quality of the work. In reality it is probably something I have inherited from my fathers side of of the family where Dorothy Sayers, Herge and John Le Carré was enjoyed and discussed with equal enthusiasm as Goethe, Camus or Lagerlöf. Maybe there is somethign out there I don't fancy, but I can't come up with anything.
And thanks! I will soon be back to normal.
