I like true crime, history, novels, comedy, and short stroies.
True crime is my favorite. Sometimes, the story is SOOOOO intense that I can't read any more again for sometime up to a year. I am often haunted by the stories of the sick minds that maime and kill others for money or whatever the reason.
Once I start a true crime I cannot put the book down until it is finished.

ohmigosh, true crime. i hope that they are not being described to the last detail as to make the imagery gross. we all know how true crimes can be so gross. even just those which we see which get reported in the television is really something to deal with. how much more when words are made to describe them and then our limitless imaginations will go through them...oh, wow, that is surely something that is really worth thinking of.

I read a little bit of lots of genres.
Lately I've been reading a lot of Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Horror.
I read general literature. I LOVE classic Brit lit. I love poetry and short stories.
I love epic novels. and I often read silly girly books for a change of pace in between the other books I read, mostly because they are cute(albeit extremely predictable) but they are an amazingly quick read.

I'm addicted to the V.C. Andrews, Stephen King and John Grisham styles of writing. Each author is different from each other, I know, but I'm still fascinated in their imaginations, the unique abilities to twist fiction and they're ability to create real-life plots. I'd love to write in this capacity one day, but to me they'll be the masters I can't compare to.

i love to read books on science fiction, action and mystery. those books on science fiction are so amazing. it is even difficult to see how the author ever managed to picutre in their minds those out of htis world scenes and inventions. i love those action novels. i can feel and imagine the speed and the action involved therein. the mystery books are even so much more. i am always amazed at how the author comes up with intricate stories where a favorite detective always manages to solve.

1. i like comedy/light books, easy reading. that's probably the first thing i will pick when i am browsing a private library
2. next i like fantasy novels, the thick ones, i like long stories to occupy my time and imagination enough to take me somewhere else...
3. next i like classics, like the jane austen and dickens' works, it brings me back to the age i wanted to live... :)
4. i also read other fictions, like dan brown, grisham and even clancy
5. i have a favorite western novel author, mmonsieur louis l'amour, i read every work he did.

My favorite would be thrillers, and crimes.. Anything by James Patterson and the late Sidney Sheldon would definitely amuse me. I wouldn't put the book down until I finish reading every page! =D
