Do you have a favourite genre?

The genres I like best are:

1. fantasy
2. science fiction
3. romance
4. historical fiction

(and I love blends of the above. Historical fantasy? Bring it on. Gay werewolf romance? I'm in! Science fantasy--please point me in the direction! etc.)

I do read some things outside these genres (literary fiction, nonfiction, classics), but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule.

My wife bought me a gay werewolf romance novel (not realising it was a gay werewolf romance novel) because she liked the cover and the sprayed edges. Having told her I'm happy to receive any books as gifts as people so rarely buy them for me, I gave it a read. Definitely not my genre and my wife would never have picked it if she'd actually read the blurb but it was actually pretty good fun and definitely the best gay werewolf romance I've read
