Guest The_Doctor Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 What's your favorite book genre and why? Quote
Guest Godless Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Non-fiction. I like to learn, and school is expensive. Quote
Guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) I don't know how to classify it. But I like all books that create a complete alternate universe. For example, the Star Wars Universe, the Mutant (X-men) Universe, etc. It's not specific to sci-fi because I loved the Camelot universe as well. Edited January 31, 2010 by anatess Quote
pam Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Hard to pinpoint just one genre. But I do enjoy biographies. I love books based on 16th century English time frames. Interesting life back then. Quote
rameumptom Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 I just finished reading a college chemistry text book. For fun. I'm now starting a college Physics text book. For fun. Yes. I know. I'm a sick, twisted freak. Quote
gabelpa Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I like Sci-fi. Seperately, I like fantasy. I do dislike how they get grouped together, as Anne McCaffrey is a far cry from Greg Egan. I generalize, yes. Sometimes I like reading about a fantasy, impossible world with unexplained magics and creatures, other times I want to hit something hard and cerebral that challenges my intellect. Quote
Tarnished Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I also like sci fi/fantasy and also dislike how they are lumped together. I also prefer fantasy over sci fi. It works out though I guess and keeps me from having to visit two sections for my favorite books. I will read pretty much anything other than horror. But I do prefer fantasy. Quote
dazed-and-confused Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 why do you want to know?....you writing a book? Quote
Elgama Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 without a doubt my favourite author is Gervaise Phinn - I have to listen to him on audio book because the laughter makes my ribs hurt so much and the tears streaming down my eyes mean i can't see the words lol I put other as his books are loosely non fiction - He's a School Inspector from Yorkshire Quote
Elphaba Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 You need a category called "Anything." Elphaba Quote
candyprpl Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I agree with Elphaba -- anything. I checked fiction but it just depends on my mood. I love anything with a good story-line that will keep going. It can have a slow start but it must pick up and keep me interested. That goes for non-fiction as well. I love Dan Brown's style of writing. Quote
Blackmarch Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 What's your favorite book genre and why?Sci-fi/fantasy.... Got hooked with the Star Trek, Star Wars, The Hobbit (cartoon), Tron, Last Starfighter, and Dune movies when I was really young and it went down hill from there.Cold War/ Military fiction, and mystery, and nonfiction come in at a close second.It's scary how well I'm entertained by school type books on zoology, astronomy, and geology... Quote
Truegrits Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 My favorite, for entertainment purpose, is the mystery novel. I like the writing of James Patterson and John Sandford. And William Diehl. I also like westerns and I enjoy reading a Clive Cussler book. I like reading autobiographies, cook books, and the dictionary. Quote
Maya Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) I woted for fiction... Fantasy may get a bit too much off the ground I think... but fiction is better than real life... in fiction it all can still go ok at the end. I also love excitement, which you seldom get in real life. I liked Chris Stewards the great and terrible a lot also Scotts Alchemist serie although that is getting on fantacy site, Dan Browns books are nice. Oh and J. Auels books are just great!

LocalFarms Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 It is my completely biased opinion that fantasy is the greatest most pure form of creativity on the planet Quote
