(Excluding time travel) Do you have a preference between books that progress linearly and books that jump back and forth in time (flashbacks etc)?
I have a preference for stories told well, regardless of the mechanics.
Except present tense. They make my brain itch because I can't put aside the notion that the story had to happen far enough in the past that the author could record it and get it published so I can read it.
You know. Later. Not now.
Once in a very great while, I'll pick up a novel and not notice, but as soon as I do?
*record scratch*
I recognize this to be a personality flaw. Perhaps a symptom of a deep seated hurt or anger on my part.
