How do you feel about illustrations in your books? Graphs? Photos? Sketches?
Most of the books I read these days are traditional adult books – aka books with no illustrations. But I like illustrations – especially when I don’t expect them in the books I’m reading.
I’m just as reliant on my imagination as the next person, so I don’t feel a lack when I’m reading something with no pictures, but I do consider it a sort of extension into the author’s brain when there are illustrations. It’s almost like valuing someone else’s opinions on an art piece you like while also having your own opinion; I don’t let the pictures change what’s in my head if I prefer not to.
