What kind of books do you like to read? What do you think every book should have in it and what shouldn't ever be written in any book?

What do I like to read? I really enjoy books that have some humor, a touch of romance, and a bit of mystery. For me that's perfect! I enjoy series type books. I don't know how to answer the second part of your question. But for me I don't think it's necessary to add in gory details. That's just me though. And I won't read books that have that style. I don't care for movies like that either. For me, when I read mystery type books I just need to know that someone was killed or found dead. I don't need the blood and guts details to understand that, yep the dude is dead! LOL.......

I love to read:
Realistic Fiction- I can relate to the characters, and that's something great to find in a book. In realistic fiction, the situations are not too predictable, depending on the author.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi- I like things that have never been seen before, but can be described in the book. I love reading about imaginary worlds.
I read almost anything else, too!
I think every good book needs:
- Believable characters
- A good plot, to keep you reading
- Spice! No one likes reading the same old boring story without any twists
- A good beginning and a good ending, to help you start the book, and to make sure the words stay with you after you end it
- Some bittersweet moments. No one likes books all about hate and sorrow, or all about happiness and peace. You need a good mix of both.
I'm not a big fan of profanity in books, but I don't mind it too much.
Good question!

Definitely read them, first chance you get, they are difficult to find in stores so try buying them from www.amazon.com, or www.bn.com. Also when you finish those look for the new series "Fearless FBI" I just started it and it's great. (Theres a lot of books in the series but they are kind of short..dont worry) I cant stop reading them!

I love Harliquin Romance! My husband laughs at me, but oh well, I like "em! I do read other books, but those are my favorite. Not really sure about the other part of your question. I guess they all should have a good story plot to hold the readers attention, and maybe get rid of stupid endings! I don't like that! With books or movies! You go through the whole thing and get a stupid ending! It drives me nuts.

I like to read Al Quran book with Indonesia Language translation the most of all. It is the religious of Islam book. Like the Christian's bible its a religious book. Any kind of book need a lot of true knowledge and should not having such a fake information.

I like books with dark humor.. A Series of Unfortunate Events and Fight Club are my favorites. I love books that put a twist on boring clichés.

I like to read fiction, fantasy, biography, classic, nonfiction, and (some) science fiction. I don't really have any one thing that has to be in a book. I don't like books that has cursing or if it isn't clean.
