I picked SF/Fantasy, but I'm not exclusive about it. I do read a fair number of mysteries and historical fiction (or books that could be both, like Barbara Hambly's Benjamin January stories). I generally avoid romance. I'm not a big fan of "just fiction" because I guess I like something with a bit of a twist to it, but I did have to read Shantaram last semester for a class, and I was surprised that I liked it as well as I did. (I didn't like the other books assigned for that class-- and it wasn't supposed to be a class about fiction in any case, but about curriculum theory. Go figure.)
I also have quite a collection of non-fiction, ranging from physics books by Feynman and Hawking to social science books by Gould and Elgin (note that some of these authors have also written science fiction!)
