I like suspense/horror stories best. Stephen King rules! :)

Hard to say. Most of my favorite books can't really be pigeonholed into a specific genre. What genre would you call the works of guys like Hemingway, Faulkner, or Kafka?

I'm too much of a wimp to read horror stories! I tried to read Stephen King years ago and gave up when I was too scared to turn the light off - I think I have too vivid an imagination!

I like to read fantasy, biographies, stories about how people & animals survive in difficult situations, religion books like the left behind series & the chicken soup for the soul series. I really love to read the books by Lillian Jackson Braun.

I enjoy reading historical fiction, followed by modern romance, and horror.

I like mystery and detective novels, diaries, contemporary works with a hint of satire and, when I'm down, romantic novels.In my youth I read a lot from the classics and sci-fi literature.

Definitely well-researched historical fiction, especially about England 1650-1850 - Recommendations are always welcome!

I'm not a fan of fantasy. But I do like non-fiction: true crime, science discoveries, histories, and some biography. I also like a good fictional mystery; I have many favorite authors in that genre.

Mystery, especially Scandinavian noir, travel writing, especially Bruce Chatwin and Italo Calvino and a good novel, once in a while.

I love historical stories whether they are factual, romance or mystery. I very rarely read modern literature.

I think fictional books doused in philosophy is my favorite "genre" but I also like biographies. I've read 12 different biographies on Ben Franklin; so far he's have slightly different lives in all of them.
