i like historial fiction and memoirs. I also like a little bit of fantasy and sci - fi. I really enjoy the memoirs that they have you read in history classes.

I'm a big horror book fan, my favourite authors are Stephen King and James Herbert. I like mysteries and thrillers also. In the summer though, I become a complete girly girl and read trashy novels about girls who fall in love whilst trekking through Indonesian jungles on the run from the FBI or something similar ;)

I like reading and writing very much, but in this period I have no time. My favourite kinds of books are novels, horror, historical (in these days I'm reading a book by Valerio Massimo Manfredi), romantic and classic. however the top of my list are the books in which the author writes a detailed examinations of some subjects (politics, history, religious, and so on).

From fiction I prefer old-fashioned detective stories, where a detective gets his results with a lot of brainwork. At most I enjoy witty novels, for example "The Business" by I. Banks is one of my favorites. I also like historical novels but as for history I prefer non-fiction, biographies etc.

I usually read books that are of sound truth, religious books, I do not care to read fictional books ,My interest are reading self help books that help you to build your self-esteem up and I like those how to do it yourself books such as how to sew, how to be more frugal. Now you can see why I dont bother with fictional books.

I like so many types of books. I really like romance books but they have to havee some substance to them and not just be very simple. I also really like mysteries and solving the crimes within!

first of all i dont like reading books...but if was forcefully asked to read some book then i would go for comics...and definitely not novels as they take a lot of time to finish even a single story and even after that it does not end....

I'm an avid reader of science-fiction and historical non-fiction. Every once in awhile I will read true crime novels or suspenseful fiction as well.
