To be truth I like almost any kind of book,if it is an interesting one.But I have to choose non-fiction,direct to the subject ^^.

Mathematics! Calculus books are relatively exciting to read, I must say.

I can't stand fiction anymore. Back in grade school and middle school I loved reading the realistic fiction stuff. Now I can't stand it! I don't really know why. I guess I just got tired of it. I vote for non fiction because I like reading facts, history and news.

hmm, i like crime thillers and science romance, neither of which is on your list :/

i chose historical fiction, but only because ive been reading a series of crime thrillers set in old kingdom egypt

poetry, philosophy, ancient texts, stray bibles, mind books, free books, thrown books, two books

favorite book genre for me would be in the companionship of Harlan Ellison ~ short stories that are fiction, i guess ~ or maybe non-fiction ; humorous and horrific; science fiction? speculative hard fact? maybe not too keen on this whole genre thing: actually neither was Joyce, another of my favorites; and Emily Dickinson, too ~ how 'bout the genre of nongenre?

Nonfiction: Lots - from periodicals to online to books. My favorite authors: John McPhee who writes about anything and makes it interesting, Bernd Heinrich, best known about his works about ravens, and Edwin Way Teale, mid 20th century naturalist
Realistic Fiction : John McDonald's Travis McGee series, Tony Hillerman's Chee/Leaphorn series about the 4 Corners area of the US, many others
Historical Fiction: Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series about early 19th century British navy exploits
Fantasy: Tolkien
Science Fiction: Larry Niven, Arthur C Clarke, Heinlein, Frank Herbert and a host of others over the years
Horror : not much, but a few Stephen King
Comix : I have the twenty pound compendiums of Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side - always a great reference.
Popular Science: Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond command the most bookshelf space.
Many nature guides covering all natural sciences.

...And then there's the web, which takes too much time away from by book larnin' The latest wrinkle in this addiction is something called Hypography Science Forums.
