[sushicatlikesart]

What are you guys' favorite genres of book? Mine are dystopian, thriller, and some romances.

 

[Mikaiah]

mmh i tend to prefer SFF, though literary fiction is alright if I happen to be in the mood for it, haha.

 

[ting1984]

Classic lit (novels/short stories), poetry, autobiogs, philosophy, reference (dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.), social sciences, religion

 

[Bcat]

Romance, fantasy, and adventure! Combinations of the three are even better!

 

[Peach_Jam]

YA fantasy!

 

[Imbri]

All the ones with words.
Okay, more specific? Fantasy (light and high), historical fiction, non-fiction, mystery. I'll read just about anything except horror or crime. Imbri does not do ickies or jump scares.

Horror, thriller, fantasy, historical, classics, mystery, biography...

Kind of everything but romance really (it's fine as a sub theme but not full on genre).

 

[Katzenjammer]

I think I'd have to say non-fiction or educational books are my faves.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Fantasy with a leaning on worldbuilding is my favorite genre! J.R.R. Tolkien is probably my favorite author because of this.

Otherwise I like comedy and education (though with education I prefer more scientific works).

Fantasy is what I read most! I enjoy classics of any kind too.

 

[CasualWheezer]

I usually like reading realistic fiction but I do like mysteries sometime.

 

[Uffe]

I'm not really sure. I just read whatever grabs my attention. Of course I will say several years ago I was into some steampunk and cyberpunk kinds of books.

 

[Neb]

I normally read science fiction and realistic fiction, but I’ve been opening myself up to fantasy novels more recently. My favorite authors are Octavia Butler, Neil Gaiman, and Adrian Tchaikovsky. Armistead Maupin is an honorable mention.

The thirsty kinds ofc

 

[eseamir]

I am a massive sucker for romance books not gonna lie

 

[LadyDestani]

I'll read just about any kind of fiction along with some biographies, historical accounts, poetry, and non-fiction related to animals. But my favorite genres are:

- Classic literature (especially from the 1800s)
- Poetry
- Fantasy
- Historical Fiction
- Mysteries

I read a lot of different genres, but these are the ones I tend to read a lot of:

Dystopian - Brave New World is my absolute favourite book of all time. I love the world-building that exists in dystopian novels and the such innate human desire to survive that gets explored in them. I also really love how it's basically a "what if" scenario simulator but the "what if" is so outlandish it makes for an interesting story of how society would react to it as a whole.
Memoirs - I think people's individual lives are so interesting and I love reading about how other people have experienced their lives and the crazy stories that they have to share.
Mystery - I am very bad at guessing plots, so I am always hooked on these books because head too empty to guess what happens.
Fantasy - Again, world-building!! Love how in-depth some magic systems and civilizations are explained.

 

[Mariah]

I only read psychological thrillers.

 

[Alienfish]

non-fiction and memoirs, documentary novel, 20th century history.
