Science Fiction is my root tag. (all the other slang names get merged: SciFi, SyFy, SF..). Science Fiction-Fantasy is seriously given scrutiny as it was used for shelving and many titles rarely truly bridged the genres (IMHO just tossing in a space ship/ray gun/sword does not establish a 'bridge')

I am smart enough to infer:
General ???
Fiction < used when 'I' have not assigned a root topic tag (usually because I have so few in that area as to make that a necessity)

I care less where (country/state) the Author lives or a raft of other 'garbage' tags. Do they write well , is how I choose books
