I like things that look nice, not fancy, over the top animated. But a good picture paired with a nice font, maybe combined with a tasteful color scheme and i have much more fun reading. It doesn't that much. Idk, maybe we're just wired different, but for me reading RSS in every break would be too repetitive visually ;)
