I've only just recently strayed from the general fiction and mystery shelves into the sci-fi and fantasy books at the library.
I'd read sci-fi/fantasy books when I was younger, but in my adult life didn't really bother. I think the main reason is that I don't like to watch those sort of movies or TV shows, so I kept away from the books. The last year has proven to me that I didn't know what I was missing.
I still like general fiction the best for getting absorbed in a story, but sci-fi and fantasy seem to be doing a pretty decent job of providing a fast escape.
I still won't read westerns or anything about seafaring.
