I like to read humour but it's not on your list. So I went for other instead.

Horror is my favorite, next Mystery and Thrillers, so I could only chose Mystery and Thrillers since Horror isn't on the list (or is it Horrour? ).

As already said, multiple choice would have been better, as most people read cross-genre. I voted Mystery & Thriller, because whatever reading fads I have, I always return there.

If there was a multiple choice option I would have checked Non-fiction, Mystery..., and "Science Fiction". Though in the case of the latter, I would still be flaming the polester for grouping both Science Fiction and Fantasy. To me they are extremely distinct. I read a lot of Science Fiction and almost never touch a Fantasy book. |

I'm like so many of you. My answer would be a variety of books. I read romance, suspense, chick lit, contemporary fiction, mystery.

I voted for mysteries and thrillers. But in truth, i read mysteries - never thrillers- because i don't enjoy the feeling of being scared. I don't know why the two are always bundled together-they are very different.

I may read one or two books, occasionally a whole series of one genre, but likely as not I'll come completely out of that genre for my next book/series, so unfortunately I was unable to vote as a single genre wouldn't reflect my reading habits.
