What type of books do you predominately read?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I was just looking at my kindle stuff and its 100% factual, mainly historical and scientific with a cosmology/physics bent. There is a mildly worrying trend on the Nazi front, historically of course :hee:.

What are your trends?

Autobiographies of C-List British TV personalities

[Shaun]

Am a blind follower of stuff that gets rave reviews by the Grauniad but otherwise trying to get through cult classics atm (a collection of Vonnegut's novels right now)

[storybrooke]

I'm not proud of it but typical teenagery (is that even a word?) books.

Twilight Series, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Mortal Instruments, Me Before You, Hunger Games, anything by John Green.

I need to start reading more classic pieces of literature. I did get about halfway through reading Pride and Prejudice, should carry on with that really.

[smudgie]

Not read a book in a good while, but now I can see ok I will catch up in the winter reading autobiographies that have been stacking up.
A rather good Sam Toft gathering dust on the shelf as well.
Hubby keeps bringing me random paperbacks in as well.

Fiction

[jennyjuniper]

Classics like Austin, Dickens,Bronte.Steinbeck.
Crime thrillers like Jo Nesbo, Ian Rankin,Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson.
Novels with a paranormal twist. Stephen King. Dean Koontz. Guillermo Del Toro.John Connolly.
But when it comes right down to it, I would read anything rather than not read.

[JerseyWins]

The ones on TV without text. :shrug:

[Lostie!]

Fantasy.

[TaylorCallum]

The type that 14 year old white girls obsess over and make Tumblr posts about.

[Littlegreen]

Biographies definitely.

Also anything that is a bit dark/odd.

[Amy Jade]

Fiction mostly, I can't abide 99.9% of biographies.

Marvin Gaye's 2nd wife.

even in audio - for lazy youngsters

[Owoaje1993]

Comic books with superheroes

[Underscore]

Mainly political.

Jess Phillips' Everywoman
Nick Cleggs' Between the Extreme

are the ones I've been reading recently

[Adamw92]

Fiction

[Jessica.]

Anything from The Origin Of Species to The Hunger Games, I don't really have a preference of genre, I'll read anything these days when I get round to it.

I am reading fiction at the moment, Ready Player One, it has a film coming out next year, I believe, directed by Steven Spielberg, I hope it does the book justice. :) I'm enjoying it.

[BigSister]

Chick lit celeb biographies and sometimes some fantasy

[Livia]

All manner of stuff. I've got about ten books by my bed at any one time, fiction, non-fiction, books of lists, books to do with work... I also read on the Tube. The only thing I really don't read is romance.

[MTVN]

These days mostly fiction but I like non fiction as long as it's quite readable. I've just finished Hillbilly Elegy about the poorer white classes in the USA and that was really good. Often though I might buy a big political biography or a history book thinking I'd like to read it and learn more but when it comes to it I never get past the first few chapters. Feels too much like hard work when you're supposed to be reading for pleasure

[King Gizzard]

The works of my main G Albert Camus
