Peacefield Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I vote for historical mysteries!! That's really my all time fave genre, but it wasn't a category so I chose historical fiction. Quote
Cheesy feet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Historical fiction-Conn Iggulden's Emperor and Conqueror series Young adult-Darren shan's saga & Demonata Quote
kookiex Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I picked contemporary fiction and fantasy. Contemporary Fiction because I like modern stories regarding reality and common stories about life which everyone of us could experience. In contrary to that I picked fantasy as well because I like to get out of the stressful reality sometimes reading about like some supernatural creatures and just enjoying or regretting that it doesn't exist in reality.

Raven Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Pretty much just girly romance type books such as Cecelia Ahern, Jill Mansell etc But not Mike Gayle . . . Quote
BrainFreeze Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 As I could only pick one choice, I went with crime/thriller, but I also read quite a bit of horror, true-life and getting into more contemporary too. Quote
poetsquill Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I like all kinds of books but i do love a bit of Romance at the moment! PQ Quote
Nollaig Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 My new favourite is Conspiracy Thrillers! I can't get enough of the things! Quote
busy91 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I chose non-fiction, because my fav genre is memoirs/autobiographies/biographies. When I was in my 20s I found that I read a lot of books about rock stars and actresses, as I got older, I did read other types of books, but to this day I find that branch of non-fiction to be one I go back to again and again. I just think other people's lives are fascinating. Quote
BookJumper Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Easily horror/supernatural/fantasy/sci-fi. Anything that isn't extra realistic drama on top of the real life will do . Quote
Scarlette Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Contemporary fiction, crime, horror and historical fiction. These are the genres I prefer in general. I couldn't choose just one, I have two many books that I've enjoyed from all those genres. I'm giving classic fiction a try, now, and it's an interesting change from what I would usually read. Quote
Adam Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I voted for Contemporary Fiction. I also enjoy a good non-fiction book every now and then. I like biographies Quote
Talisman Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I voted for contemporary fiction too, although I am not sure what it means ! It just seemed to be the nearest one to what I read most. I also though like non fiction - mostly alternative history, mind, body and spirit - I guess others on here don't, as they don't seem to be discussed that much. Quote
SueK Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I voted Crime and Historical fiction. I'm still hooked on Russian historical fiction and Sherlock Holmes. Quote
SweetiiPie85 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 My favourite books are Crime/Mystery/Thriller and Horror/Supernatural Quote
sadya Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I didn't vote, because I like most of the genres you selected. I'm not very fond of horror, but I do like mystery and paranormal stuff. I like historical books, funny books, too many genres to vote for one or two only. I like non-fiction as well (amongst these are biography, autobiography, some physics topics but not all, religions and other ways of life, space, social topics about contemporary life as well as life in former ages) Some of the genre of books I don't like, are love stories, you know, books which are only about love and no other topics. Love is in many books, but then it's a part of a different plot, when it's only about love, I'm not likely to read it unless there is something very special about the way it's written. And I don't like most travel books, unless there really is something about the way they're written. If they are part of another story line, it's different. For me, there have to be more elements than the travelling alone. That's all I can think about right now. Quote
joe Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I chose chick lit but I do love crime novels too Quote
green Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 When I was a kid it was horror & animal fiction,then later solid sci-fi/fantasy for years peppered with occasional thrillers,but for about 3 years now I've been touring round the genres hopping from contemporary to classics,historical to thriller etc,and it's really broadened my reading horizons.

jewell Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I put contemporary lit. However my fav book of all time is Persuasion by Jane Austen. Strange huh? Quote
