Book tastes
Well-written LGBT (particularly gay male) fiction, especially fantasy and romance. Unique fantasy and science fiction, generally not written by cishet men. Books that make me feel magical or otherwise elicit strong emotions. Japanese literature (cishet men are okay here!), fairies, poetry, ancient civilizations (especially Ancient Egypt), Jane Austen. Gay-related or ancient civ-related non-fiction (queer theory, history, lit crit, biography, etc.).
Don't get this!
Pulp heterosexual romance or mystery. Mpreg. Used books, unless they're out of print and can't be gotten new.
Other notes
Some all-time favorites: Autobiography of Red (Anne Carson), rock (Anyta Sunday), Le petit prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), Persuasion (Jane Austen), The Wild Irish (Louise Glück), Lily Mayne, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Not favorites because sad, but: A Little Life (Yanagihara); At Swim, Two Boys (O'Neill).
