What type of reading do you like most?

I started out being a fanatic fantasy fan. Loving David Eddings, Piers Anthony, etc... Then I went off and started reading historical fiction and Latin American fiction (Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Michael and Kathleen O Gear) then I started reading books like "Life of Pi" Memoirs of a Geisha", some canadian fiction like "Beautiful Bones" and "Crow Lake" then Louis L'amour and Zane ?? Grey??-Cowboy Western books and now I'm reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone because I got told the series was better than the movies and I hope it is. I wasn't impressed with the movies. I generally skip around but fantasy is my mainstay. I love Forgoten Realms, Dragon Lance, Wheel of Time, etc....

I am still very much a horror type gal as well as true crime and psychology type books...then there are the spiritual books that I'm a huge fan of and biography type books like When Rabbit Howls or A Child Called It and the like...I do enjoy a funny book every so often though for example I've been on a Christopher Moore kick since discovering him this summer....and I am a HUGE J.R Ward - Blackdagger Brotherhood fan as well

The type of reading that I like most is non fiction over fiction. I love to indulge in a good novel but I also like self help, biographies and law. I enjoy reading astrological pieces. The solar system is amazing and horoscopes are good for a laugh, perhaps thought provoking. I too enjoy reading jokes and the comics in the Sunday Times. I love Charlie Brown and Garfield. Horror novels have a place also. I am interested in cooking as well as crafts as well so new recipes or patterns also interest me as well as any books on oil painting techniques. My favorite reading has to be a good page turner that is based on true life crime stories, from a law enforcement point of view.

I will read anything, but my favorites are mysteries, especially with a forensic edge. I enjoy humor, biography, and whatever else happens to catch my fancy. My current "to-read" list contains as much non-fiction as fiction I think. I'm currently reading Terry Pratchett's "Sourcery" and "Meditation for Dummies" if that gives you an idea! :)

I used to love to read Anne Rice Vampire books. Unfortunately she no longer writes them, she is now working on Christian stuff. I also like to read the books in the Left Behind series. Some of them were better than others, but I enjoyed the series as a whole. I hav not really had a lot of time to read lately. Plus I need to find a new author that I really like. Unfortunately I don't think there are any other authors out there like the Anne Rice of Old.

i like to read book that i think that book are usefull to me and entertaining of corse.. i like to read harry potter,, all about computer,, internet,, and programing.. thats book i like at most,, and psycologic book and book that can make a new spirit to me like chicken soup etc..

I love reading books mostly inspirational books from authors Paulo Coelho and Robin Sharma

As for me, I like History and Culture. I read other stuff as well but these two are my favourites. Thanks

I read just about anything that catches my eye. My favorite authors are Amy Tan, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Wally Lamb, and I can't forget David Sedaris. If you need a good laugh read his books! I read Me Talk Pretty One Day and about peed myself laughing several times.

Hello Ladysurvivor! I love reading about beauty, health and nutrition. I don't read books much. I love reading magazines more and I love reading articles online...vani^_^

well i am not a big reader i prefer short stories and some joke when i am in good mood but actually i love to read real stories specially those which are experience gaining .................

I love reading.I wish I could have enough time to read anything that I'm interested in.for instance books on history,universe,health,and I used to read a lot of novels. I'm now reading books of philosophy.They are books searching for underlying causes and principles of reality,which seems useless to many people but helpful to me.I'm currently curious about the real nature of life.

I agree with you, that's my case too. I like to read entertaining stuff because life is hard by itself and we don't need more stuff to depress or scare us. That's just my opinion. Sometimes I have to write stories for my classes and all my stories always have happy endings and I try to make them light so that a person would understand them and also when my friends or professor reads them to make them smile. I like books that make us feel better or give us hope. I know that bad things happen and that people should write about them but I just prefer light stuff.

Now i only reads news papers more. But i like the Detective novels,Crime thrillers,Horror novels etc. Like you i really enjoying the jokes and other funny things.. Thanks for sharing

I like to read anything in the social sciences, humanities, philosophy, history, current events, politics, and economy. I read the news--although this is generally not pleasant, but simply what I feel I must do to stay informed. I've been reading a lot about the world's elite, and the agendae of many of the world's most powerful institutions--scary sh*te if I may say. I Love to read success stories, inspirational material, and I especially Love to read jokes and the few humorous novels that can be found. Thanks for the post! dr...

Fiction mostly when I have some time to read. I like reading magazines of all kinds too.

My favourite genre is detective fiction. I have to admit to being a diehard Agatha Christie fan and have read about 50 of her books. I also enjoy other detective fiction such as books by Elizabeth George whose detective/mystery books with Inspector Lynley as the main character have been televised in recent years in the UK. Aside from these type of books I also enjoy humorous fiction and some chick lit but have no specific favourite authors for those:)

i like interesting books, such as love stories, fashion, exploration and so on. i like reading a 'reader' before i go to bed. it is popular in my country. there are lots of love stories and jokes in it. i like fashion magazines very much, then i can enjoy beauty in them, although i can't afford the clothes in it. i like exploration magazines too. then i can know lots of new things in the world.

I never seem time to read romance, mysteries or fiction of any kind. The nature of my work requires a lot of research so the books I read are usually health, wellness, whole person healing, spirituality, mystical teachings, metaphysics and empowered living. Gardening books are interesting to read to get new idea. For magazines I like Oprah, Natural Health and a variety of women's magazines.

I am 38 and I love reading anything. the larger the novel the greater the challenge. Right now I have three books to study by January for exam so I guess I better get to it. I love mysteries, havent read a horror in along time - i love Stephen King though, love books mmmmmmm - I really love them, and children stories too. Look I am a big kid at heart and love being so. I lvoe to sit and read with my daughter as I try to reinforce the need to read and enjoy reading.
