I love reading. I seldom buy new books these days. I check the books in my bookshelf and see which ones I like to re-read. I just re-read Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell. I also enjoy mystery, detective and adventurous fiction, classic literature (mainly Chinese), and non-fiction books about philosophy, psychology.

I read almost anything (fiction) but not very much into sci-fi or fantasy which seems popular these days.
Mostly I lean toward mystery/thrillers but have lots of authors I enjoy that write other types of stuff

@Beestring I love finding a new author especially if they have multiple books . My biggest problem is always having too many books, not enough time but yet still always wanting more

@Marilynda1225 I have this problem too. That's why I've stopped buying new books for now.

You have a wide range of choices then. I'm not very much into sci-fi as well.

@Beestring I think that I have read all of Agatha Christie. Some of her books are awesome.

I like to read psychological thrillers. I was reading last night, that had a very unexpected plot twist. I don't think anyone could see that one coming, and I am generally pretty good at figuring out plots.

I enjoy fictions as long as it's not too much of mystery or sci fi thing. I read a lot of self help, spiritual and philosophical books.
I have reduced buying books. I borrow it from others. Even I love to check my bookshelf and re read some of them again and again. My house is full of books and I don't want to add more because of space constraints.

@Beestring I have few bookshelves but still every other storage corner is full of books. My daughters are also voracious readers. They keep adding the good ones to their collections.

@arunima25 I live in a small apartment, only have two bookshelves. So I have to stop myself buying new ones for a while. I may donate some I think I'll not re-read to community center library.

@MrDenata 1984 is a good book. But the subject is quite serious.

The genre of books I like depend on my mood mainly. I am not into horror books though unless they are the classics.

@Beestring Most horror books are not really good as I see it. They rely more in the gory details.

I like paranormal romance books that have a lot of adult content in it. I like reading about werewolves falling in love and dealing with relationships. I just wrote my one book and stated my second one.

I read almost anything except biographies and autobiographies. If I have a choice, I prefer reading science fiction and/or fantasy books.

I am a former editor, and so I did my fair share of reading, and of course a lot of reading was not "desirable." I had rules for how far I would read when it came to reviewing manuscripts submitted. But for me it is horror. That's the genre I prefer to write in and it is the genre I prefer to read.

@Beestring And the mystical book is lifted from a true story. So I was very happy when I read it. I like getting into the story.

There are a few authors whose books I buy but I mostly borrow books from the library. I don't know if I have a specific genre I love the most. I love YA novels a lot though.
