Very true about the bad books and music. I am very picky about both. I've been around long enough to determine what I like, the amount I like, and the kinds I like.

Suffice to say, most contemporary music has ‘way too much bass and the lyrics are unmentionable in polite company. Some of it sounds like two tomcats with tails tied together and thrown over a clothes line.

The music field does have very good pieces and vocals, but mostly not by the current group of performers. Lots of good listening to choose from besides contemporary.

I like techno thrillers that are well written and plausible. Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy get it right 99% of the time. I like the sci-fi masters from the golden age of sci-fi writing and older fantasy writers; current sci-fi and fantasy writers are very hit and miss; mostly miss. I like most nonfiction about tech, historical, and political stuff. Human behavior is remarkably consistent over the centuries and era to era. Nonfiction, not so much.

So, what's your genre?

Don’t really have a genre. Whatever’s good.
