I'm a sci-fi/fantasy reader. I like the idea of other worlds, other viewpoints and the way they handle the problems.
I do have subscriptions to reader's digest and national geographic.
My favorite authors:
Anne McCaffrey
Mercedes Lackey
Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Asprin
Christopher Stasheff
S.M. Stirling
Elizabeth Moon
Spider Robinson
And many more! lol
I can read a 300-400 page book in one day...so I'm always looking for more to read.

Well, I just read the two books in the Eragon series. Started last night and finished both today. It does show, that, as always, the book has more than the movie.
I was lucky, in that my school offered (9th grade) a speed reading class (instead of english). At that time, I went from about 400 wpm to about 650. I think now, though, I read about 500 wpm. lol Still thanks.

i prefer reading biographies/autobiographies of great personalities of the world.
It really gives me inspiration and a new direction to think.

I don't really like biographies, or anything that has to do with history. I like mysteries and pretty much any kind of fiction book. I prefer to read short books, too, because I have a short attention span.

I enjoy reading biographies, fictional books mostly by African American authors and those I enjoy; inspirational, self help and motivational works, as well as some books on making more money(finance);

I used to read a lot of sci-fi books, but in the last several years, I've been reading a lot of fantasy books, along the same lines as Lords of the Rings. Authors like George R.R. Martin and Robert Jordan. Stephen Lawhead is fantastic also.
I also like to read murder mysteries. I've been reading the Inspector Lynely mysteries by Elizabeth George. I need to in order to fill the void until the next season of Mystery! Inspector Lynley Mysteries start again on PBS. Am jonsing! *grins*
In addition, I like to read books by Sylvia Browne, books on herbs and gemstones/crystals. Religious histories are also a good choice.

I like to read spiritual literature, mythological books, good novels and autobiographies. Since I am a little spiritual minded person, I always keep distance from fictions and horrors, because of the negative moral impact of such books. Thank you.
