I am currently reading a vocabulary-rich book, "The Widower's Tale" by Julia Glass. I am in the habit of keeping a small notebook nearby so I can write interesting sections, quotes, and unfamiliar words from my latest read. Yesterday, I copied the following:

I have always been an avid and fairly ecumenical reader of fiction: I relish the pretend, the invented, the convincingly contrived. p314

I had heard the word ecumenical used with regards to religion, but never in a case like this, and I thought it very appropriate.
