Summarise your reading tastes in a picture without books challenged Simon from Stuck-in-A-Book. This picture from Pink Carly on Flikr does this perfectly.
All Sorts! Take a look at my category list on the right. Literary fiction, translated fiction,classics, contemporary fiction, crime, thrillers, cross-over novels, historical fiction, science fiction and increasingly non-fiction. I could eat read the lot!
But note there are no red licorice allsorts in the picture – and that’s intentional because there are books I won’t read. Paranormal, romance, and anything with an “adult” tag or prolific profanity for example.
I’m an old-fashioned girl at times and that’s another reason original licorice allsorts suit me so well. They are a traditional sweetie after all.

Lizzy's Literary Life (Volume One) 
What a great picture and wonderful explanation.
Fantastic picture! It almost sums up my reading taste, but I think I’d have to throw some jelly babies into my picture. Not sure why – I just like their sweetness and the child-like image of them.
What a brilliant choice!
I’m surprised because.. they always told me that there’s no country that sells “drop” (what would be translated licorice, but I’ve been ensured countless times tastes different) in any country outside of the Netherlands. And here we are.. And of all the different kinds, you chose a picture that shows what we call “Engelse drop” or “English licorice”.
Terrific!
Great picture Lizzy! I love the idea of this image, have been loving seeing everyone’s pictures on their blogs over the last week or so.
How clever! My husband loves licorice allsorts too, but I prefer regular plain red licorice (not that that is symbolic of my reading tastes in this instance! ;))
Just saw your photo and love that we both chose a candy metaphor! You can see my picture at http://aborrowerbe.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/like-a-kid-in-a-candy-store/
That’s very clever … although, as Ogden Nash once said, candy is dandy but liquor is quicker! But that’s quite a challenge: a picture to summarise one’s literary taste … I have to go away & think about that!
