Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

I left out my favorite (which is a sub category of horror) ZOMBIES - now THEY are some GREAT books when you can find them.

oh yeah
zombies happen to be my own personal favorite in the horror genre as well.

I selected quite a few choices.  I'm just addicted to books is what it amounts to.

I like to read almost anything. I do try to follow this rotation.
Spiritual/Religious
Classics
Something for fun(any subject)

Anyone else do this?

Thanks for voting in the pull. I know it's 2 1/2 years ago, but sadly it in memory loss issues from lymes disease, I don't remember creating this poll – it's good to see someone actually take it, nine votes to have years seems a little lite. Hopefully now that it's reposted some others may vote. Thanks.

I like action and thrillers, and I guess it would be called historical fiction. Also fiction, sometimes romantic, but generally speaking, I don't read to many romantic books.

Some of my favorite books are:

Behind the Beautiful Forever by Katherine Boo (LIfe, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity)

Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach (this was a very sensual romance set in Amsterdam)

Life of Pi by Yann  Martel (they made a movie out of this book) One of my favorites

I love David Baldacci Books (action, thrillers) and have read:

The Forgotten
Absolute Power
The Winner (one of my favorites)
Stone Cold
Divine Justice


The Round House by Louise Erdrich (Story of a Crime on an Indian Reservation)

I love, love, love the trilogy by Stieg Larsson:
The girl who played with fire, The girl who kicked the hornets nest,  and the girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I just love the heroine of these books.

Well thats enough for now.

I picked "Other" - I often choose by author no matter what the genre may be.  Anything by Orson Scott Card - I grab if I see it.  Neil Gaiman is a master of descriptions (He's also a beekeeper - but I'm not sure how hands-on  he is with it.) I wouldn't know how to categorize myself as a reader, since if I'm not looking for something specific - I could wind up with anything.  Sci-fi Sci-fi Sci fi. is where I land most when I'm not going by author.
be happy and make others happy.

I prefer hard copies over Ebooks too. Just something about the feel and smell that makes it more personal.
I do have the kindle app on my phone which is really convenient when I find an unexpected wait or break in town or at work.
