Science fiction, particularly dystopian--I know it is the "flavor of the day" but I have always loved it so this current trend has me giddy :-)

Historical fiction, with the emphasis on accurate historical details. I love all periods of history, but especially the American Civil War and Middle Ages.
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

I really enjoy WWII fiction, but mostly the nonfiction. Would love some good recommendations.

I'll pretty much read any genre, but my favourites are mysteries and thrillers. Nothing like being kept on the edge of your seat. :)

I like almost all genres, but I really like for it to have a romance line in it. It just seems boring if there isn't.

This is a tough one as I like most genres. I think either memoirs or classic fiction. I also like folklore from other countries.

I've been stuck on paranormal romance for over a year. Vamps, wolves, angels, .....
This week I've been reading chick lit comedy. :-)
If I didn't write, I'd never sleep.

I love high fantasy fiction , with magic, different races , war , adventure , dragons and mythical beings, where the impossible becomes possible. Long winding tales of turmoil and struggle to achieve a greater goal. In between two series switch i sneak in a single book , which would usually be a fiction thriller say dan drown or jeffrey archers single releases but usually i stick to novellas minimum of a trilogy !
Cheers ,
Srivolco !!

I like anything with a bit of history involved in it, though I can't think of one specific genre I really go for. I'm reading a lot of metaphysical books at the moment, just an interest I have.
