Strong theme, conveyed through plot or characters. I like books that are metaphors or representation of something, and that give a new way to see the world, that make feel and think. I like a great variety of books, and I'm flexible, but I look for these things the most.
For this reason maybe I also really like essays, because they teach me something.
