Most definitely Science Fiction. I'm just now getting into Fantasy, so I've been catching up on some titles that many people read long ago. I have a large collection of older SF titles dating from the 1950s -- but most particularly from the 1970s. I find myself very surprised at how short the typical SF novel from that timeframe is.
If you were to look at my reading statistics from 2008 (to date ...) you'd think that my favorite genre were mysteries. I participate in an online book swapping group, and have been more active with swapping mysteries than SF/Fantasy.
Another genre that I am new to is that of historical fiction. I became interested in HF when I read Confessions of a Pagan Nun by Kate Horsley in 2005.
