I'll read just about anything. Genre doesn't limit me, characters and style does.
By this I mean, the POV character(s) have to have enough brains in their head to keep me interested. I've got no time for whiny or stupid characters; I've got even less time for massively self destructive characters. I'll happily read sharp, witty character in almost any setting.
As for style, I'm not a huge fan of overly descriptive work. Anne Rice is a good example, she writes plots I'd really like, but the pages and pages of descriptions of everything the characters come in contact with and how they feel about it drives me buggy. Cut a third out of any of her books and I'd happily read them. As they are, I feel like I need a machete to cut through the vast wodges of atmosphere to get to the story.
