How much is too much? Dialogue, that is...

New plan: Wondering Wednesdays have arrived! This is where I ask you to tell me what you like in the stuff you read. (Okay, it's kind of a dorky name, but you know what I mean, right?) Please, please, please tell me what you like to read, what attracts you to a story/novel, and what you want more of.

So, Question Number 1: How much dialogue is too much? What balance do you like to see between narrative and dialogue? And would you rather an author err on the side of dialogue or narrative?

Here's a fun blog entry in defense of dialogue. Author Caro Clarke has a good article on the value and use of description. And here are a few prompts for creating settings that propel your novel forward instead of bogging it down.
