    What genre of books do you like the best? You can choose up to 3, because there are people like me who read *everything*, including cereal boxes and the like, and love it all!

    So my three, in random order:
    Fantasy
    Horror
    Comedy

    For me it will be ...
    1. Mystery
    2. Horror
    3. Romance (but usually I like romance books in which the action takes place before 1850)

    Um...for me I like a variety of them:
    Romance, as look as it's not too in depth. o_O
    Comedy, I love reading funny stories! ^o^ (Especially hilarious fanfics)
    Fantasy is pretty good, but only because I love the Harry Potter series.
    And I dread Horror! I'm scared of all things to do with horror, which is why I never read book or watch movies related to them.

    For me i'd say i go for:
    1. Fantasy just because its a very wide range of books and it includes alot of stepheen king boooks :) (Dark tower is my favourite series of books ever!)

    2. Horror, because it kind of links in with number 1 and I love anne rices vampire chronicles.

    3. Thriller for stuff like Deception point and angels and demons.

    I'd have to say fantasy, as nerdy as it sounds, but reading it is so amazing. It is like your taken to a different world where everything is different. Of course, I love Harry Potter. The various magic books laying around are also nice. :D

    I like Sci-Fi because it usually brings you into a new world like fantasy, but gives a scientific explanation, which I crave.

    You like a lot of books that I like ...
    I love Stephen King but I think he's books (or most of them) are horror/thriller. I also enjoy reading all of Anne Rice's books ... how can someone not love vampires?
    Also Angels and Demons it's more like mystery from my point, I don't think it's thriller :)
    Also on my list I forgot to add ... I also like adventure books.

    My top three would be comedy, mystery, and Romance. I love Janet Evanovich books, because they have a little bit of both.
