What I look for in a book

In looking for a book to read, I tend to have a variety of qualities that I am seeking. One of the most important characteristics that I look for in a novel is originality and unpredicitability. It is because of this requirement that I generally avoid genre fiction.

I would also say that realism is pretty important to me as well, but not in the way one might think. I am perfectly comfortable reading a novel that has some supernatural elements if it's characters and their relationships are realistic. That said, another of the elements I am interested in is whether the book explores the human condition.

I will try to rate the books I have read by three criteria. Each criteria will receive a score of 1-10.
#1 Was this an original work or a fresh perspective of an earlier work?
#2 Are the characters interesting, well developed and interacting with others in a realistic way?
#3 Does the book have anything of value to offer, beyond reading enjoyment?
