Literary fiction, Naturalism as potrayed in the the works of the early 20th century modernist american writers. Fitzgerald et al, they actually had something to write about. The metaphorical take was minimal and you could say there is some symbolism in the works. The appeal is chiefly the tone set in all the novels of this period, the narration is a genuine narration. I do not know where literature is headed right now, i think it's lost. hmmm. Anyway that who i like and why, i read everything that comes my way so, i can propbably comment on pulp fiction too, but would not, is pulp fiction the literature of tommorow? thats a question haha.

My favorite genre is definitely fantasy although Atlas Shrugged was amazing. Keeping that in mind I would have to say my favorite author is a tie between J.R.R. Tolkien and Ayn Rand.

I like reading about the ground war in Vietnam and my favorite book about this subject is a book by John M. Delvecchio called "The 13th Valley". I was sitting in a bar in Phoenix one time listening to a couple of Vietnam vets talking about the best book they had ever read on the war and one of them said his favorite was "The 13th Valley". I just had to get in on the conversation and tell him that I had read that book 3 or 4 times. It not only gets into the strategy of small unit tactics and movements but Mr. Delvecchio also get into the heads of the characters in such a way that you almost hate for the book to end. Try it......I almost guarantee you will like it.

I'd have to go with Dystopian Fiction, such as Clockwork Orange, Animal Farm, 1984, Atlas Shrugged, Handmaid's Tale, Fahrenheit 451 and books like that.

Historical fiction. NOT historical romance. The well researched, well written books about historical events or people.
Sharon Kay Penman is one of the best in this category, Edward Rutherfurd. Anya Seton.Gary Jennings is another, although his often have a little element of the bizarre. Almost forgot--Pauline Gedge--great writer about ancient Egypt.
