What I look for in a good piece of writing are the same things that inspire me. I need intensity, adventure and a message that speaks to the greater good. I love stories that are on an epic scale because stories that are about someone making a huge difference or fighting to make the difference really speak to me. I like stories that have a much grander underlying story to them. When you read about a character who is faced with tremendous odds and responsibility are easy for me to get attached to and really root for.
I also like stores that have beautiful descriptions of the scene and setting. Oddly enough, that's what I'm currently struggling with the most in my novel to perfect. I really love reading about different places, expecially when the descriptions are vivid and visceral so you can completely imagine it in your head.

so many people are finding that the thing they love the most is the thing they struggle with...hyperconsciousness?

I agree with Elmaz. It's a funny thing, loving what you struggle with, especially when there's a particular author you admire. It's intimidating trying to live up to him/her.
