Do you have a favourite genre?

Having a look through the forum this doesn't seem to have been asked for a while, eight years from what I can see so ...

What's your favourite* genre to read? Is there one you keep finding yourself going back to?

I would say mine is horror, interestingly though when I look in Calibre I see I have 58 books I've classified as horror but 85 Action/ Adventure and 139 Science Fiction! I think the numbers reflect the fact I am much more picky when it comes to horror books, I'm more specific about what I like. Breaking down the horror category even more I would say haunted house horror would be my absolute favourite, if done right. Unfortunately haunted house horror is one genre flooded with badly written stories, but when you get a good one

I think the reason I like this genre so much is because A) They are usually a relatively quick read B) Usually a light read, no convoluted plots C) Pace is usually quite fast. They make quite good 'palate cleansers' between longer/ heavier books. Oh and I like the paranormal

So whats your favourite genre? and any particular reason why?


* Before anyone says anything this is the English (UK) way of spelling it, I double checked!
