Favorite Genre of Book

[estranged4life]

When I do read I prefer Non-fiction subject matter (I inherited my Mom's massive collection of books about 'serial killers')

Touché! A good line should never be passed up.

LOL. I was shocked I actually knew what you two were doing.

It's cool to see that Thrillers/Mysteries polled so high.

I don't have a favorite genre. I like just about anything, except romance and westerns.
Sorry Ethan, but the really commercial stuff (Grisham, Patterson, etc.) really gets on my nerves.
A really great book crossed my desk a few weeks ago. 'Soon I Will Be Invincible' by Austin Grossman. It goes on sale June 5th if anyone wants to check it out.

I like comedy/satire books. My favourite author is Terry Pratchett. They are highly satirical books that just happen to be set in a fantasy world. I guess you could class them as fantasy, but even though they're filled with elves, dwarves, etc. I don't think of them as "fantasy", but more as comedy or satire or even world commentary.

Other authors I like are:
JRR Tolkein
H.G. Wells (completely awesome author. War of the Worlds is great )
Colin Bateman (Northern Irish author. Biggest hit was Divorcing Jack, which some may have heard of, or seen the movie.)
