Other than mysteries, about the only thing I read is nonfiction.
Someone I'd recommend is James Hillman. I've lost his book, The Soul's Code, around the house somewhere and I'd really like to find it and finish it. Dang.
I tend to read religion and philosophy, psychology and history, and some biography, science, and economics. I also read gardening, home renovation and repair, health, etc. ("self-help"). I'm a nerd too, lucretiusfiend. (On the other hand, perhaps we could just leave it at "intellectually curious.")
