Sci-Fi and War novels pretty much, but I'll read anything if I have nothing else to read.

I thought Pendleton did an excellent job with them and my wife still has most of the series though I quit reading them a number of years ago.

i like mystery and adventure books. I like mystery becasue I like the challenge of solving the mystery as I read.

I love self help books. There's a book I always love to read and always sets me in the mood for some challenged. It's entitled Daring Female's Guide to Ecstatic Living. It contains lots of challenges you can choose from - about life, career, lovelife etc. It's a fun book to read. But when it comes to reading stories, I prefer suspense and romantic genre. Somehow, they're good for escapism.


myLot reputation of 77/100. Strongheart (1079)   ranked 1,031 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I've read many a self help book myself! Some of my favorites were the entreprenuerial types.

Hmmm, ever read any romantic suspense novels?

When I was a kid I was a real mystery fanatic..going back to my love to Nancy Drew...then graduated to Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Nero Wolfe...Now I tend to read fantasies, sci-fi and LOVE children's/young adult books...I'm on the fourth book of the Dark Is Rising Series by Susan Cooper (there are five). I love anything with a "magical" nature to it...uh, why I'm a Harry Potter fan, and Lord of The Rings and Chronicles of Narnia. Most of my short stories I've written are on a magical/fantasy theme

Previously, I like to read novels regarding to romance, and I like to read something about love and relationship. And recently, I like to read fiction a lot, it really brings me to some place which is quite fantastic and amazing, I really like it. When reading a fiction, I always find myself obsessing in it and feel so good.


myLot reputation of 77/100. Strongheart (1079)   ranked 1,031 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  6 months ago

That's awesome because that is what books are supposed to do! They should make you feel good and take you away from where you are for a little while!

There are a lot of good books. When I was a new Christian, my favorite to read was my bible. When I came to know about financial education, I want to read books on money, business, and finances. Right now, I am still into reading my bible, but most of the time I am reading business books. My desire is to be educated about money, business, finances, and leadership for me to be successful in my business!lollol

Hi SH! For me it is way easier to tell you what I DON'T like... cause I pretty much like any thing that 'grabs' my attention. I am ADHD so get bored real easy with a story that is going nowhere. I do NOT like science fiction, it's just too far fetched for me to get into it. The story though for me has to really 'grab' my attention in the first 3-5 pages or I won't read it....Lori


myLot reputation of 77/100. Strongheart (1079)   ranked 1,031 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I will be looking forward to your comments once you have a chance to read Pursuing Phantoms as I think it will keep you going all the way to the end! Is it the really intense and technical science fiction you dislike or science fiction in general? The reason I ask is that I have some I am writing which are science fiction but I explain the science in laymans terms so that it is not only understandable but believeable as well!


myLot reputation of 91/100. dumblnddzzy (10291)   ranked 3,068 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  6 months ago

It is the really intense & technical sci fi that i don't like. I'll be glad to read your's you write in such a way that you keep my attention thruout. I am excited too about Persuing Phantoms. I like this title better than roadkill!! I will write a review & mail it to you once I read the book...Lori

hello.
i'm really not much into books,
but i think school books ( because i have to) and self help books and of course any books as long as it's interesting.
school books, because i learn many things from it, i just wish that it will retain in my mind. hehe
self help books, because it's very useful, though you don't talk or ask for an advice from others, just find a book that suits to your problem, then that's it but of course the author must be a reliable one.
and of course interesting books, as long as it will not make me fall asleep then it's okay with me.
happy mylotting

I go through phases...for years it was romance, then fantasy, science fiction, drama, and now I prefer books with more of a supernatural bent, something like "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly. That truly is one of the best books I've ever read....

You know, that star sure is pretty but it does not accurately reflect the quality and competence of your posting so I had to make sure you got +! I think I will have to check that book out! Just as soon as I get done writing and get a free minute! lol

I, am most definitely going to have to have that book! I went ahead and started to read the preview, and soon found myself at page 14 where another two pages dropped out. I t has my imagination and it also sparked an idea for something of my own, but as I have a tendency to know what is coming in a book, I shall have to read it to make sure it's not going where my mind started to go!


myLot reputation of 47/100. sndcain36 (2667)   ranked 2,549 out of 19,473 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I knew you'd love it...it's so good you're gonna wish you'd thought of it first...lol

I have yet to give this book to anyone who hasn't loved it...I was actually sad when I finished it....
