Book type

[monkeylo1]

Which kind of book type do you like??
Reccommend some books.

[Nomadic Dragon]

My fav. type is fantasy though sometimes it's hard to come accross ones that don't use the same tired plot that you've seen numerous times. Sword of Truth is a good series. Of course, Lord of the Rings is a good fantasy series(of which I probably do know more than you rohil!).

[Azalea]

I vote Mystery. I love the feeling when I break the mystery before reaching the end of the book :D

[Nemesis0521]

Hmm I'm not really sure. I haven't read a a book for my entire summer vacation and it's unlikely I will. When school starts again I thnk I'll find out.

[Elelith]

Gah! Impossible to decide, I like most of those options. I chose adventure, because that can encompass pretty much all of those things. It's a general thing, and always intereseting.

[yumisan]

hmn...i actually prefer fantasy..something like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit .it is a very good fantasy story.adverture stories and pretty good too.i can't really decide which type of books i really like.:P

[monkeylo1]

I like fantasy and adventure and others because fantasy gets my imagination going and adventure walking or other. Other is like suspenseful. But I hate reading the other kind. They make me fall asleep. how about you??

[hitsugaya131]

i like adventure and action series the mouse series by brain jaques, pendragon.

i would recommend the book, the sea of trolls for those of ya who like adventure/suspense...

[Lolable]

ilike them all but mystery more cuz as aza said its fun to break the mystery before i finish the book and know the answer :p

[Jasper]

Mystery and preferrably one with a lot of intellect involved and realism involved. It really helps me to picture the events while reading :).

[_Ink]

any star trek novel is a worthy read. so is every Anne Rice and Stephen king Novel.

[Naeko]

I voted fiction,coz most of books are fictions,even Fight Club and American Psycho(I hope) too,just like Lord of the Rings or the Vampire Chronicles(...I'd have to start reading The Vampire Lestat...)

[jacin]

i like bildungsroman. ehh i guess it would just be fiction but a sub genre. (yeah i retained that day in english class heh). its like a comming of age thing but not just 'comming of age', but the protagonist develops though a jorney, mentaly, moraly, spiritualy like the catcher in the rye by salinger , to kill a mockingbird by harper lee , dicken's great expectations or :eek: the adventures of huckelberry finn by twain. learning doesnt stop at any age unles you refuse to think and look where you havent before. i like a character that doesnt stay stuck in the same place but changes, or i should say, matures and comes to an understanding of something...maybe from my own inability to come to any understanding of anything lol.. another one idk if anyone would like is the fury by salman rushdie. that one is crazy, there is like 4 genres in that one...but its not for someone thats 12. i mean no offence to anyone who is 12 that might be here but i wouldnt have liked it when i was 12. its not for everyone at any age but tis worth mentioning i think. its the newest book ive read i think lol.
character definatly plays a major role for me when i read a story. a character driven plot is better than any plot that is simply uneffected by the character. although, one of my favorite books is the stranger by albert camus, and the character doesnt do anything except what actions fall in his lap.

[SLVR]

Nonfiction


Teachings of Don Juan and a Yuci way of knowledge
A Seprate reality
Journey To Itaxlan

[Daifuku]

haha I go with Mystery
just cuz it makes more mysterious the story and I prefer that way :p

[sherenetms]

There are so many types that i love...fantasy is nice, fiction says it all, and romance wouldnt hurt once in a while though it make me cry, lol. Mystery is also another favourite. Still, fantasy and fiction rules them all, except sci-fi. I so dont like sci-fis.

[Sanzora]

I'm a fantasy/sci-fi fan myself. Adventure is also cool though ^_^

[elk4]

manga rules all

[nyuu_chan]

fantasy is my favourite. but i pretty much read anything.

[Joe Black]

I actually like sci-fi as well, simply because i'm interesting in that sort of thing. I recommend Issac Asimov's work, like "I, Robot" and "Nightfall"

[Access]

I voted fantasy. I personally read to avoid everyday life, therefor I love to read books that are as imaginative as possible. I also enjoy sci-fi books, but not if they are too technical. And of course, there has to be a bit of romance. :winking56

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

i choose fantasy too... it usually has very wild imaginations... n the plots are good for most of them... like forgotten realms

[Mercurius]

Well the about only books I read is the Harry Potter serie...wich is Fantasy so I choose that

[Kurai-chan]

I like realistic ones so that i can relate to it and compare it to what's really happening in the society. i also like mystery because i like solving puzzles and connecting things/ideas together. ;)

[SoundWave]

I only read manga... Airgear is awsome, a manga everyone should read.. ^^

[Chouji]

Really i read almost all of those some times but i mostly read other.

[Princess Tofu]

I like manga but thats different from a novel/book. Other then that I luv reading science fiction novels because they go beyond the borders of normal fiction and have the somewhat, thrilling yet scientific sotry lines and adventures. I also luv to read a good mystery book because they keep you wanting to read more and more. I just love the thrill of it and I luv suspense, so I get hooked quickly to a good mystery. ^^

[nikuwadoko]

mystery by conan doyle.

[Jesusisdaman]

I picked manga ....

[novastar]

I mostly prefer Fantasy or adventure, but depending on the author, Sci-Fi is good too.

[Allicat]

i picked fiction though i really like manga also i tend to read a lot of fiction novels because most of those stories interest me the most.

[Luna_Sombra]

Fiction, although I wouldnt mind some mystery or fantasy, heck maybe a mystery/fantasy book would be cool!

[shiro1002]

My favorite is manga. But I love fiction and fantasy too :doindadom

[adorkable]

My favourite is probably fiction, although I do like a bit of everything.

And I don't really know why, but I prefer first person written books over third person. Probably because I get to know what that character is thinking and their own feelings... =/

[emmasu]

just like you adorkable, i like fiction, am reading one right now:doindadom

[Hits]

Lol, that's a vague statement. "I like to read fiction." Care to go into details as to what kinds?

I like conspiracy/espionage novels and its polar opposite, fantasy. =]

[kaede822]

fiction, manga and mystery..thats about it

[Exodus]

I like adventure.

If you like adventure, I suggest anything by Jules Verne.

[Thing]

OMG. Fantasy books rock.
You should try The Complete Book of Swords.
Or Discworld <--- rocken series.

[unwaken]

I hate books written in first person perspective. <.<
I just find it kind hard to stomach xD
esp. Anne Rice books ;__;

I like mystery, thriller, fiction and abit of fantasy :P

[izza]

Hmm.. I noticed that I enjoy a lot of fantasy books-- but I voted manga =P cuz .. well, its MANGA XD

[Sosai Wakasaki]

I love Fantasy!! But mistery is cool too

[Seilin]

I like a lot of book type and the books I like mostly depends on the storyline and the plot and such, but from the books I read, I think adventure books are the ones I like most.

Some books I like: Harry Potter[I think it's adventure and fantasy], Wizards[adventure and fantasy], and etc. [I can't think of much right now >_<]

[Ciel]

i would either say fiction, mystery, horror, but manga was up there, so i had to choose that one..

[Slasher]

Manga.
Followed closely by fiction and horror..
Wouldn't mind mistery either.

[Kurosaki-San32]

I like manga the best well shonen manga:redbiggri

[Karakura Red]

i LOVE manga... i also love fantasy

[blueice760]

well i read most types of books.....well excluding non-fiction(my text books dont count) though i do particularly enjoy fantasy and adventure. Manga'a cool too, but i dont get to read enough, only Bleach manga!

[Pon]

So many choices... I picked 'historic novels' with 'mystery' as a close runner-up. There's just something about the setting which, if done right, really can lift the story.

[teddyen]

i like fantasy most! i've no idea majority likes fantasy more too...since my sis, cousin and friends hv other interest...
i like adventures, fiction,manga and etc etc etc

[konberry]

I love fantasy, books about magic and mythical phenomenom, adventure, stuff with loads of action but isn't all bluff, and manga of course~! ^^

Recommended fantasy/adventure: His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, The Circle Opens and The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce, Darren Shan saga by ... Darren Shan :p:, and THE HOBBIT~! HAHAHAH

LOTR wasof course awesome...
but wheelof time was a little too long for me

i'l try dragonlance since everybody's saying how nice it is

i like robbin hobb's, terry brooks books too...
and belgaraid and mallorean

[sherenetms]

LOTR isnt that long once you're hooked to it.

I think mystery and historical fiction are nice as long as the facts are not boring. I've read a few that are amazingly interesting and some which are plain boring (you can fall asleep right on the first page itself).

[ravenx]

I prefer FICTION.
Some Books : Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
Dune by Frank Herbert
Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke

[teddyen]

err... i meant Wheel of Time was a little too long for me... it has like more than 10 books...
LOTR was fine =D

[buituyenjr]

i choose other cos i like a book which is logical means that it must not have logical mistakes and it should mix with fantasy, a bit drama, a bit comedy, a bit adventerous, a bit scary and a bit myterious...

[Kzimask]

I like historical fiction books, they always interests me, maybe because I like history stuffs... :sad:

[Evanesque]

I like many types of books, my favourites being Horror and Fantasy. I've read too many good books over the years to recommend one...but guess I'll mention two...one of them is The Witching Hour by Anne Rice (Gothic tale) and another is Queen of the Mists by an author (Fantasy) whose name I can't recall at the moment.

[MazdaRxEight]

Fantasy:

Dragonlance Series, Ender's Game, The Alchemist... etc

[Vince Flyte]

I don't really have a favorite type of book. If the book is "good" or "decent" then I just read it.

[Penryn]

Fantasy, lots of imagination to explore

[Pantera]

Horror/Fantasy

Steven king= Better than all. Dark tower is theb est book series I have ever read.

[Z-man]

I like fantasy and science-fiction. There are not much science-fiction books though so I read fantasy.

[hajinmon]

Fantasy ftw. The Sword of Truth series is good as wells as Eragon and Eldest.

[Miyata]

After I read the LOTR i think that's why fanatsy topped my list and ever since then I've been reading those kind of books but so far none have matched the almighty greatness of The Lord Of The Rings!

[5000]

Well i am more welling to read manga thin anything!

[Iro]

I like reading horror/fantasy/supernatural/adventure type of books. Lately i do not read but if theres a chance id drop by at the bookstore i immediately go to the horror/suspense section to browse on the books and see if it catches my interest. I really like reading about that kind of stuff probably because the supernatural or the beyond normal sightings and happenings have been my current interest thats all.

[Rayster]

Fantasy...tho it depends if it can be classified as that.
any1 here see Gladiator, or Kingdom of Heaven, or TROY? what if the books are like that except its been classified as Fantasy?

meh - fantasy...
David Gemmell.

[gerralin]

I love mysteries!! Those detective stories about solving cases, I love them=)

[Night Sky]

I almost like them all ^^.
But yeah, I've to choose..
then it will be Fantasy, but I also really like historical.

[Elise Lenne Fevout]

I adore fiction, anything with adventure and whatever pertains to psychology and divination.

[Vietangel18]

As the title states, what's your favorite genre(s) in reading?
Uh, for me I love all kinds of books. I love to read. ^^
My favorite genres would have to be fantasy, romance, mystery, and suspense. But if the book doesn't fit into any of those catagories, it has to have a good plot/story line for me to read it.
I don't think there is a thread like this around, but if there is I apologize. So lock or delete this if there is already one like this. ^^;;

[silverwolf801]

I guess I like fantasy because I read mostly artemis fowl and Harry potter

[Jasper]

/Thread Merged with "What is your favourite genre of books?"

I've already mentioned it above, but I like mystery novels, ones with lots of realism :).

[M_A]

Well, all i read is either fiction, fantasy or manga. I spend more time reading manga than anything else, though. :P
