I don't really read in any particular genre . . . though currently I'm obsessed with stuff about Judaism and Chinese-Americans

And what about the genres of non-fiction and ethnic writings, to name a few?

I enjoy Fantasy, that's what I voted for, but also enjoy Horror and Sci-fi. I love Oscar Wilde's quotes Sir Joel, very, very funny man. As for adding to the list, try Raymond E. Fiest (oops, just scrolled and seen someone added that, so I second it! His stories about Pug the Magician are breathtaking). For something more mystery orientated (with a lil horror mixed in for good measure), try Edgar Allen Poe. For sheer Macabre noone beats H.P Lovecraft. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is brilliant too. As for Sci-fi, nothing beats the Original Series of Star Trek, but then again, that's T.V. Some of the novels are ok too though. Book-wise try looking for a book called R is for robot, it's got a selection of sci-fi from different authors, it truely touched me in ways I cannot discribe as a boy. One story in particular about people who were decendents of a crashlanding on Mars. Because of something in the atmosphere they only lived for about a week. It focused on two in particular who escaped via a beaten up old ship from the crash. The way it was written was absolutely exasperating and literally brought tears to my eyes, wish I had a copy of that book, I don't doubt for a minute that that story would still have the same effect on me, even today.

I mostly read fantasy. Authors: Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Anne Bishop, Elizabeth Haydon, Brian Jacques, Rowling, Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind, R. Salvatore... and others I cannot currently recall.

Edit: Oh, and Robin Hobb. (How did I forget her? Gah. Probably someone else of similar awesomeness that I'm forgetting...)

I voted for fantasy because most of the time I find reading about my own world rather boring.

I like the classsics but I really don't read a lot of fiction. I am majoring in Criminal Justice so I like to read true crime, forensic science, and sociological works. A good read is Dead Reckoning by Dr. Michael Baden. It's a terribly hard read but very interesting. Also Dr. Henry Lee(my hero) has several books out.

My favorite genre would have to be fantasy, simply because I love to read about things that could never really happen. I enjoy to escape from reality every now and then.
