What genres do you like to read (multiple choice)? 2nd version
This is just a second version of the poll orginally posted by jbcohen. I just added multiple choice on his behalf I hope I didn't miss anything.

*It may take some time for me to get the poll to show properly. I've never done this before

Thanks for this improvement I saw no way to properly respond to the previous poll. This poll is still lacking general Literature & Fiction as a category and that makes up about 60% of my reading. So I called that "other". Non-Fiction makes up the other 40%, with some of that in some of the specific areas in this poll.

Thank you Pookeysgirl. I really wanted to vote in the original thread but I just couldn't because I wanted to choose more than one choice, so thank you for making it multiple choice!

Hey, you even spelled humour properly.

Though there's Travel and Religion appearing twice, it seems.

I guess I could have put "other" for general fiction or chick lit, but most fiction I read seems to be historical or humorous, and chick lit seemed to fit under humor. I don't read a lot of chick lit anyway.

I voted for everything other than self-help, education and parenting... just like I indicated in the other thread.

Much better.
I notice there's a lot of adrenaline junkies as well as SF&Fantasy readers.

Surprisingly low on romance (so far).

Sf/fantasy (heavier on the Sf these days), some horror, post apocalyptic, and some "mens adventure" tossed in the mix.

I read a lot of different genres, so I checked off almost all of them.
