A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author. - G. K. Chesterton

Not that much, actually. Lots of academic articles, some fanfic - of varying quality - and the couple of 'this looks interesting, should pass the time on the plane' fantasy novels I picked up in Sweden.

GKC's words have proved applicable to all of the above ... *g*
