I find quite a few books cross genres. For instance, Lois McMaster Bujold's Komarr and A Civil Campaign: A Comedy of Biology and Manners which I read and enjoyed as SF while my wife read and enjoyed them as romance -- she was the one who pointed out to me the similarity between A Civil Campaign and A Civil Contract and that the dedication for A Civil Campaign was to "Jane, Charlotte, Georgette, and Dorothy" which she thought were Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontė, Georgette Heyer. The Dorothy she wasn't sure of.

If the book is well enough written with characters that I can find believable or, at least, allow me to suspend disbelief while I'm reading, who really cares what genre it is classified into.
