What inspires you in a novel?

As with any other genre, I like to read a well-written work of fiction featuring a plausible story with a compelling plot line.

What inspires me in a novel is when the characters are so well-developed that they become real people who I either like or dislike.

I'd say I'm a pretty typical reader.

I agree with Cynique Icon

(Urban fiction--Donald Goines, Iceberg Slim, Chester Himes, some Walter Moseley John Edgar Wideman.

(I don't think anything "inspires" me in a novel. What do you mean by that? What in a novel motivates me to write or read more? I can be inspired even by a novel I don't like. Please clarify what you mean by "inspires")
