Regimen, unless you're part of some sort of literary militia.

Probably more than most people's. I read Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans all quite a bit, though fewer Africans and more Asians generally. I read ancient works and contemporary works, male authors and female authors, small press books and some bestsellers.

I split my reading between fiction and non-fiction fairly evenly. I don't really read much STEM-related non-fic, but even that makes its ways in sometimes.

I use PoC literature to hold up my half collapsed bed frame. I also have some bell hooks on my toilet in case I run out of toilet paper.

>>9105591
Not at all, it's whatever I have to be interested in. Though it's pretty structured at the moment because I'm going through the narrative parts of the Bible, which is pretty awesome so far.

>>9105591
Exceedingly.

I exclusively read African fiction, so yes, it's pretty diverse.

The authors are all black?

I don't mean SJW style diversity but my diverse reading taste is probably due to ADD and dilletante tendencies rather than an open mind.

Explain?

bulk of what i read is from 20th century english-language novelists, so really not very diverse. and when i do stray from this, it's typically to read non-english-language 20th century novelists. but i do make an effort to read at least a few pre-20th c. authors or poets per year.

I also have this problem, I'm just obsessed with them.

Lately I have been reading some classic short stories; Dubliners, Chekhov short stories, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Guy de Maupassant etc.

And now I'm reading Mythology by Edith Hamilton that I picked up at a thrift store. After this I will start Don Quixote.

Nationality wise it's not that diverse in my opinion.
Most falls into
>chinese/about china(around 18% of collection)
>hungarian (around 23%)
>german (8%)
>japanese (4%)
>anglo (Yankee 10% British+Irish 13%)
>assorted slavs (russians 3%)
>2 finns (section wasn't big enough to be calculated last time so it was categorised under "other")

But depends on what you find diverse.
I don't read booka by blacks and women,not because of racism and sexism,but because I haven't come across a subject that interests me and a women/black made an interesting book about it.

Is this diverse in your opinion?

While I do not belong to a militia, I unironically enjoy post-colonial stories of suffering from varied locales.

South America wins, but desu I am waiting for a generation of mildly assimilated male refugees to write either veiled fictional or memoir accounts of the syrian-isis conflict.
