I like non fiction the most, because I think it is fun to learn new stuff. Auto biographies are lovely too (even though some might be a bit fictional too!), but I really read all kinds of stuff. It really depends on what I am into at the moment.

I really enjoy mystery and suspense/thriller books. I really like fictional books that are about crime. One of my all-time favorite books is 'Midnight' by Dean Koontz. I really like reading Kay Hooper's Bishop/Special Crimes Unit novels and I enjoy Catherine Coulter's FBI series.

I have always enjoyed reading books. i like historical romance and horror novels the most. I am not that much into nonfiction unless i need to research a topic. Anything to do with history or the ocean seems to interest me the most.

My favorite genre of book to read would have to be Spiritual, I think. Namely Christian. However, I also LOVE fantasy books and books that deal with hard issues in fiction ways (like books by Jodi Picoult, for example, who is a fantastic author). I love reading biographies on people too. I think I have read about every biography there is to read on Sylvia Plath and Audrey Hepburn. And you can't go wrong with the occasional Science Fiction book ;)

Hi, I read everything. I am a voracious reader so I just swallow everything that I see in front of me. However I first make a brief survey on the book before starting to read it. I believe we have a finite amount of time in our life and there is so many things to know. So I would like to use my energy in a more economic way. Especially in case of writers, for whom it is a necessity to maintain a positive frame of mind, I recommend selective reading http://www.bukisa.com/articles/341153_the-importance-of-selective-reading The evaluation should be on the quality and not on the subject. An avid reader is curious about everything. So he doesn't reject any subject in particular. An author usually starts as an avid reader himself. Thanks. God bless you.

My favorite books are fictional books. Particularly those with an element of suspense or science fiction. I've recently within the past year and a half become REALLY interested in Comic Books. They aren't your standard bookk, but they are a type of reading and are much more than I had initially thought them to be before now.

hello Jaluke :) Even I love books which have elements of suspense in them. The pictoral representations in comic books make them even more interesting to read, they are the USP of those books :), As we say a picture speaks 1000 words :). have a great time mylotting :)

I like to read fiction, I like fantasy and science fiction genre, you know stuff like the lord of the ring and halo novel, but more recently I found the combination of the two genre which is the warhammer 40000 series by black library, and my favorite author from those series is Dan Abnett.
