I have a very wide range of books . At last count I owned just over 2 thousand books. They vary from Science-fiction, psychological crime books, to Humorous , horror, and thrillers. Then I have my factual books, true crime , auto-biographies, DIY books, scientific books.
I normally have 2 or 3 books on the go at the same time. one at work , one on my bedside table and one for travelling with. I must get through approximately 10 a month. I tend to find out that I have ran out of books by the end of the month .
I love finding new authors to read and will try anything once. They interest me for various reasons. The sci-fi books fascinate me as to what could be , crime books for the psychological aspect as with the horror, what kind of mind can thiink up such horrific stories. And then theres terry Pratchett, what witt. He has such a take on life I think hes brill. He mocks everything we take sacred in such a way that you cant help but laugh at yourself. Auto -biographies give you an incite into another lifestyle.

I like lots of types. Mostly the classics though. But I like action and adventure too. Classics interest me because most of them happened in the past, and I like those types of books. I usually read 3-4 books in a month, probably like 4-5 in the summer because I have a lot more time. Sometimes I only read 1 a month :x I love books as well! :)

Currently Night Watch - Sarah Waters. Before that The Return of the Dancing Master - Henning Mankell, before that a Lawrence Block.
Next I'm reading What Was Lost - debut novel by Catherine O'Flynn. Then a Maeve Binchy I got.
I read about 3 or 4 books a week.

I love books that keep me on the edge of my seat. Books that I just cannot put down because I am so interested in what happens next. Most of the time I like what I read but I hate that in school teachers choose books for us instead of giving us the chance to do it ourselves that really isnt fun sometimes. I like all kinds of books not for any particular reason just because every now and then I like to escape to my that other little world and since you love books I assume that you know what I am talking about. That's why I love books.

Also when you finish those look for the new series "Fearless FBI" I just started it and it's great.

fantasy with a touch of romance and lots of humour. I like them because they keep my mind off important things for a bit, and everyone needs a break once in a while. How many books do I read in a month? It depends if I've found anything that interests me, for example I once read the entire SoUE series in a week, but this month I've barely read a chapter. I'm waiting for the next book instalment with four different series' that I'm reading, and I can scarcely wait :)

On average at the moment because I'm quite busy I can only get through 3 or 4 books a month,whereas usually I can read that many a week.
I like lots of different genre of book,just lately i've really gotten into fantasy/horror such as ; Kelley Armstrong,Laurell K Hamilton, Patricia Briggs and Kim Wilkins.
I also like Iris Johannsen,Karin Slaughter,Clive Barker,Graham Masterson,James Herbert, then for a lighter read I like; Belinda Jones,Sophie Kinsella,Chris Manby.
Just lately i've read all of Augusten Burroughs books/memoirs and they're really,really good-funny but very touching,one of them even made me cry!!

I like science fiction, fantasy, and sometimes thrillers. Sci-fi and fantasy interest me because they represent (to me) what ifs. Thrillers (especially gory ones) interest me because the ones I read often discuss psychological themes. I'm not sure how many books I read in a month. I read about 3-5 books a week, depending on book length and if I really like the novel or not.

Most of the time i read crime thrillers and similar type books, however they can get a bit much after a while and i'll read, in-between, anything from Sophies Choice to Enduring Cuba.
Will be looking out for a few from the suggestions on here, me thinks ;)

I like a wide variety of novels. I mostly like myteries and action adventures because they are a good escape. I try to read one "classic" a year to expand my knowlege and learn new things. Strangely enough i have gotten into young adult novels (I am in my mid 20's) just because they are a lot of fun, and often are better than some of the "adult" novels i read. I probably read 3-7 novels a month depending on how busy i am. I have read 5 books in a week before so you never know. :)
