GhostGirl Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I picked mystery, although I do read "plain" old fiction fairly often, and some science fiction as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Historical fiction, so long as it's based well enough in facts. *cough*DaVinciCode*cough* Edited June 26, 2006 by invisibleairwaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I read all of them (except Romance and Westerns), but fantasy is what I keep returning to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I read a bunch of genres - including some non-fiction genres like biographies, true crime, current events, and politics - but one of my favorites is contemporary fiction. My favorite authors are John Irving (Geddy and Neil are also fans) and Anne Tyler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 No Crime choice? or does that come under mystery? I voted for mystery anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Crime" usually falls under "mystery" when it's fiction; when it's non-fiction, it's "true crime." I'm a big fan of "true crime" myself, but this was a fictional poll.

treeduck Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Maybe it's me but the horror genre seems to have dried up in the last decade or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkanta Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Horror is still there, but I don't read it. When I worked in a public library, I felt that I had to read stuff from most genres to have any credibility at all when it came to reader advisory. But--I couldn't read horror. I can watch 3 minutes of a Stephen King made-for-TV-movie and be completely done in. My favorite is historical fiction, but also the multi-generational stuff that includes a contemporary setting (i.e., how the past affects the characters in the present). Hmm...that's about as clear as mud, but it's been a long day. Favorite authors are Louise Erdrich and Sherman Alexie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I guess biographies are my current choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Get High On You Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sci-fi wins the battle, with mystery a close second and fantasy tagging along for the ride at third. Philip K. Dick is my favorite sci-fi author. His work always grabs my brain and gives it a good throttle. And it flows well, it's endlessly interesting and entertaining, and it's totally bizarre, which is awesome. Supposedly he was schizophrenic and stuggled with drug addiction...this always adds some spice. One of my favorite tricks of his is in Martian Time-Slip, in which he repeats a chapter, but in the mind of a schizophrenic person who is re-experiencing a part of their life. Freaky and awe-inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of broader subjects, not niche ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
