As for variety, I mix my reading. I read a lot of Trek but also Agatha Christie, Clive Cussler, Robert Harris, have started on Robert Ludlum and the Harry Potter books and I also read some history books for pleasure. Variety is the spice of life.
I recently decided to spread out from reading just SF and Hist books and have read two ludlum books and two Harry Potter books and it was refreshing actually.
