Re: What is your favorite fiction genre?
Oh there are so many i can chose, i read bits and pieces of everything, i love thrillers and mystery though am disappointed when i guess the correct ending anywhere prior to the very last page. I used to not like fantasy as a genre but find I am loving it this year for some reason. I finally went with historical fiction though drama and science fiction have also large sections of my bookcase

Re: What is your favorite fiction genre?
Crime, love stories, family sagas and historical fiction. Some favourite writers are Ruth Rendel, Peter Robinson, Minette Walters. Barbara Wood and Philippa Gregory, although her later novels are not half as good as her earlier ones.

My vote went for other, mainly because there are so many sub-genres
I know what you mean, same here! I would usually go for psychological thrillers and a specific type of dramatic historic romans sagas. Also, I can never ignore a good oldfashioned classic... I just hope I won't go blind before retirement since I wanna die surrounded by books and keep on reading

Re: What is your favorite fiction genre?
I don't if it's a specific genre, but I'd go for medieval fiction. I mean, all those castles, warriors, sorcerers and things like that. To be truth I'm really fond of books like Harry Potter as well.

Re: What is your favorite fiction genre?
This is a tough one because there really isn't just one. The only reason I think I am able to say I have an "all time favorite" author is because he has written fantastic stuff in all three of my favorite genres: Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Mystery/Thriller. (the author btw is Stephen R. Donaldson). And my current reading has been all thirller/mystery with one fantasy exception, but choosing only one is tough. I'll have to go with Fantasy since it's the genre I've read more in than any other.
