What's everyone's favorite genre for books? I prefer Horror and mystery. :D

Anything.

New Age.That's the only type of books I read.I've read all of John Edwards books and most of Sylvia Brown's books but my favorite are ghost books.I like vampire books also.

I like horror stories and romantic books. I also enjoy reading autobiographies. It is interesting to see the world through someone elses eyes sometimes.

Sci Fi and James Bond (action adventure I guess).

I love James Patterson, Stephen King, Michael Dante Craig, Ann River Siddons, and Ayanla VanZant.

I am also into learning the method of "healing with hands" so I have "The Reconnection". I can't remember the author, but it's an amazing book!!

Anne Rice
Stephen King
Dean R. Koontz

and anything interesting I see advertised on a talk show or radio station. I guess you can say Horror and Suspense

I love to watch her on TV! She is good and gives me goosbumps! :p

I like either romance or mystery books. :)

I like Frank Yerby books. Not all but some were really good. I always have to buy Brenda Joyce and Johanna Lindsey books. ;)

I prefer true life, unathorized biographies etc, usually about criminals or deviants in society. Hell Angels, Sammy the Bull, pros and Cons, Catch me if You Can, and Somebody's Daughter are afew of the last ones I've read. I forgot Motley Crue's book at my fathers but will be reading thta when I go back :eek:

Same here.. I used to read a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.. now I am more into crime novel/mystery .. serial killer stuff.. but I still read drama from time to time... nothing I hate more than a romance novel though. They're annoying!!

Speaking of.. who all is watching King's movie on abc tonight.. I almost forgot about it.. and was reading a magazine and it just came to me. Rose Red starts on abc tonight 9/8c

I watch her to whenever I know that she's going to be on a program.The first time I ever heard of her was when she was on Montel.

The only horror I read is Stephen King.

I really like all kinds of books. If the summary sounds interesting, I'll read it.

I like historical romances too.

Once again, "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!!!" :)

You're such a sweetie, Gretchen. I wish I had those authors sales figures!!! :D


Who's That Girl? The Ultimate Madonna Trivia Book (http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=4B4FSGSM2D&mscssid=E9WKNP47720C8MH2JVJCHESX4TLW0539&isbn=0595210147)

pamela*...

Have you ever read Ann Rule? She's the author that writes about true life crimes...and she is awesome! I have every book she's written.....and if anyone in my life ever comes up murdered, I will most likely be the first target!!!




Michael...YOU ARE WORTHY YOU ARE WORTHY!! You are the bestest!!!!:wave:

Thank you again!!!

I love Ann Rule!!! Her books are always so compelling. My favorites being The Stranger Beside Me and Small Sacrifices. She really gets deep into the minds of criminals. Her non-fiction books read better than fiction. I haven't read her last book yet; I'll think I'll buy a copy on Amazon...

Science fiction, fantasy and horror, with an occasional historical novel thrown in, and the odd political biography.

Fantasy and Horror...just like my movie preference :) I've also always loved reading the original epic poetry and plays of Greek myth...been on that stuff since I was about 10 or 11 :D

I love Greek mythology, I studied in school and just fell in love with it. :D

What they give you to read in school and the actual texts are two totally different things though....in school they usually give ya watered down interpretations so that it makes sense more easily. If you wanna check out some less watered down versions and even some in the original Greek if you're really bold :eek:, check out this site:

The Perseus Project (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu)

The good stuff's in the 'classics' link :)

For those that like true crime books, I would highly suggest Joseph Wambaugh's "The Blooding". This is one of the best non-fiction books that I've ever read. It tells the incredible true story of English serial killer Colin Pitchfork (perfect last name for a murderous sociopath) and how he almost got away with the rape, torture and murder of two teenaged girls, until a cop devoted to capturing the maniac and the first use of DNA in a murder trial finally puts him behind bars. I give it five stars!

I have that book, Michael!! I read it about 5 years ago or so....loved it! It was incredible to see how he was able to get around the police at the time, and how it came out that he was, in fact, the killer. VERY good book!!!

I like Sci Fi, fantasy, and some horror..
I love Mercedys Lackey.. her Diana Files, I think..
I like HP Lovecraft

And I'm a big fan of Dummies books.. mainly on dating :p

I like certain educational books dealing with philio and religions.

I think your forgetting I do homeschool. lol I always get the high quality stuff. :D I checked out the link, Very cool. :)

"Literary fiction," whatever the heck that means, *g* fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction.

My favorite authors are:

Fiction: Margaret Atwood, Ellen Gilchrist, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Rick Moody, Lorrie Moore

Fantasy/Sci-fi: Anne McCaffrey (esp. her Pern series, though I like the Rowan series too), Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, (A Song of Ice and Fire, eeeeek!) Meredith Ann Pierce, David Eddings, David Brin, Susan Cooper, Octavia Butler, Dan Simmons, Sean Stewart, Isaac Asimov

Historical fiction: Hella Haasse, Judith Tarr, Colleen McCullough, Gillian Bradshaw, Diana Gabaldon (but you can put her in historical romance if you must *g*)

I collect young adult sci-fi/fantasy series I read as a kid at the library... Geraldine Harris' The Seven Citadels series and Pamela Dean's The Secret Country trilogy being two of my recent finds.

Right now I am reading House of Leaves, I forget who wrote it.... trippy :o I don't quite have the attention span to finish it right now.

I like those books with the things that pop-up at you when you turn the pages(now what are those called....oh well)I've also been reading these really engrossing novels about this guy named Dick and his ol' lady Jane,they're always getting into these wacky adventures with there dog Spot!A true "Must Read".

Never heard of that her, Gretchen .... but I will definitely check that out. I'll go by the library and see what I find. :D

I prefer biographies, autobiographies, mystery and horror.
