I've never added my voice to any thread here but I have greatly enjoyed reading them over the past year.
When reading fiction, I see the story. In large part it depends upon the style of writing, which for me is hard to categorize as I read fiction and am not a student of it. Gabriel Garcia Marquez - amazing images. Nabokov, Babel and Bulgakov the same. Others, not so much. The best was the Faculty of Useless Knowledge by Yuri Dombrovsky. There were passages where one character was dreaming about a crab. Not only could I picture the dreams while awake, I wound up having the same dreams each night when reading that book, which was an absolutely ecstatic experience.
(I feel that in present company I should proofread this post, but I tend to only rearrange commas, not correctness)
A wonderful holiday and new year to all.
