I tend to throw in some historical fiction on occasion, usually either something with Knights or something nautical.

The only genre I actively avoid is urban fantasy. I've tried Butcher, Devon Monk, Illona Andrews... I just can't get into it I guess.
As UF goes, there's quite a range you've sampled there. I never liked Devon Monk's stuff. Too depressing. Was Ilona Andrews too much leaning to romance for you? Don't tell anyone but I have never gotten into Butcher either. Don't really know why but just Didn't grab me and I like UF. I can't think of any sci/fi uf off the top of my head...maybe that would be your genre!!!
