In looking at the news I get disgusted mostly. Occasionally I read a positive story. But the three top genres people read this year are history, mystery, and biography or memoir all about 33%. Then less than a quarter of less favored categories are weird news, entertainment, and lifestyle. But it all comes back around to educating, entertaining, and inspiration. I do love a good documentary. When I'm tired I like to listen to one. But, when I am really wanting to be entertained I will watch a thriller, psychological thriller even better. I do like the occasional romantic comedy or mystery like Lifetime provides. Old pop culture ones like Buffy and Angel too. And, the vampires always interest me as well.
I have really been enjoying buying some books from Thriftbooks. Recently I have bought the memoirs of Danny Trejo and Mathew McConaughey.

I like comedies, thrillers, psychological thrillers, old really bad sci-fi movies and current ones, sometimes a rom-com, true crime and movies based on true stories. Have a good day.

Mystery, Action Thrillers and History are the things that attract me the most.
I am currently reading a Mystery Novel "Whodunnit" type by the author Michael Connelly.
Agatha Christie and Robert Ludlum have been my favorites but in the recent years I have tried to diversify as well!

Interesting memoirs.you sure have a full schedule.
I do too but nothing productive.
What inspires me is peace and quiet.

I like peace and quiet too. Even the noisy kid who comes over to play video games with my grandson is too much.
