I read voraciously (my username might give that away) and will consume every subject under the sun. My current book is about how dictionaries are created (Word by Word), the last one was a contemporary teen lit about a 17-year-old webcomic creator (Eliza and Her Monsters), and the one before that was a graphic novel about a Vietnamese-American immigrant trying to understand her parents (The Best We Could Do).

On the internet, I love to read travel stories (that's the roving part of my name), the kind of articles that go beyond top 10 lists and try to dig into the soul of a place and its people. Steemit is wonderful for this, and for a sampling you can check out those curated by @steemitworldmap (also, @travelman, @anomadsoul, @diabolika, @world-travel-pro and many others). I probably read about 10-20 travel articles daily, which means I get to explore more places than I will ever be able to visit personally.

But, in my heart of hearts, my favorite subject is fantasy. Escapism in its purest form, because it lets you travel to a whole different world and come back with more understanding and empathy for our own realm. And here I honor my favorite author, the late and great Sir Terry Pratchett whose Discworld mirrors our own in ridiculously hilarious ways. There are also some great fantasy shorts to be found right here on Steemit (check out some of the authors curated by @sft).

Thanks to all you content creators for keeping me fed! :D
