Romance and Westerns top the list, followed by American detective stories (love British detectives) and that whole genre of airport departure lounge books, Ludlum, Brown, and their ilk.
Love good sci-fi and fantasy, British mystery novels, and political satire.

Romance because it's so boring...it's like nothing is actually going on.

Well I would put horror stories, westerns and romance novels at the top of my list. I used to read horror novels but I cannot stand them any more as they are just too extreme and too graphic.
I quite love detective mysteries and science fiction, some fantasy but it all depends on the author and how good they are.

I'd definitely have to say murder mysteries. I've always enjoyed this genre. They always captivated me, ever since I was a kid. I find it fascinating to see how the detectives solve the cases and everything. I enjoy being able to solve the mystery along with the detectives and such. I find them very intriguing.

Romance novels. I read a couple years ago, out of curiosity, and couldn't believe how terrible they were. They are written to formula and are extremely repetitive and unrealistic. But that seems to be what some women prefer. I guess that fantasy is better than real life, for some. Next least favorite would be horror fiction. There's nothing scarey about it, and sometimes the attempts to be frightening are just silly and laughable. That's another genre that runs on cliches and formulas.

It's not so much genre for me it depends on the author, a great author can make me read a book even if it's in a genre I wouldn't typically read.
In terms of mystery.. not even Agatha Christie? Regards

I like most all genres because I love reading new authors and new books. But somethings taht I have never been able to get into would have to be horror, sci fi, and most non fiction. I don't like horror because it is really hard for me to get scared from a book. I don't like sci fi mainly because I am not very good at science. And non fiction, I would really like to read non fiction because there are some things really interesting things from real life that I would like to know about, but non fiction seems to always be so dry and boring.

Mine would be romance, it seems they all are about the same. I did happen to read one when stuck waiting for someone that I took to an appointment and she left her book in the vehicle, that wasnt to bad. It had alot of humour in it which made it a little easier to read.
