Brittish Literature, if that counts as a genre.:-) Dickens is my favorite fictional author.

If I read genre books, I tend towards fantasy. The problem is, the majority of them are so poorly written that I feel like I'm wasting my time. Lately, I've stuck to actual literature -- the classics. I also read short story collections from time to time.

Fantasy, Realistic Fiction (well teen fiction), Once in a while a good historical fiction book. But mainly Teen fiction and Fantasy or a mixture of both like Bras and Broomsticks! I despise mystery books there really boring to me.

My favorite is probably classics because it is interesting to see what authors could get away with even then! you'd be surprised how many innuendos there are in classical fiction...they may not all be as blatant as "i want to have sex with you right now", but if you look hard enough you can find them! and also, there is a lot of violence (more than you would expect)...i dunno....classics just offer a LOT of surprises (both good and bad!)
(and just because I love it so much, it deserves a genre of its own!---Wicked is amazing...i can't figure out if i like it better than the musical or not, but it is different and wonderful!)

Fiction - literature, classics preferably
maybe stuff by Vonnegut
Mystery - things like Agatha Christie, Martha Grimes
I used to love fantasy and teen fiction, but I am greatly growing tired of it because of the over-saturated market and the whole "intergalatic saving the world and wars" thing that is also in sci-fi/fantasy.
Romance - not predictable, sex-filled stuff. Ugh. No. Good stuff, Jane Eyre, classic good stories like that

I find that I prefer seafaring stories like Patrick O'Brian's "Master and Commander" novels. I used to read Tom Clancy's but eventually the testosterone began leaking out of the pages onto my shoes.
However, I write young adult fiction (no seafaring involved.)
