I guess my favorite genre is historical fiction; but those based strongly in fact. I like a book that also educates me.

My favorite book of all time? The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

[Luc Gendrot]

I absolutely adore everything having to do with fantasy, be it paranormal, sci-fi, or dungeons and dragons, I have my own notion of fantasy I guess.

My favorite book of all time would have to be "Night Watch" by Sergei Lukyanenko

Historical fiction it is. THE favorite book is, The Dragon Seed. The imperial Woman is a close second.

Although I mostly read fantasy these days I love reading books about people's travels, though I'm not sure what this genre is called. Two of my favorite books are A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. I recommend these books to everyone, particularly the Bill Bryson book, and there is not a single person who I have lent A Walk in The Woods to who has not loved it.

My husband loved A Walk in the woods!

I love all genres but I find that I'm often attracted to fantasy. I'd say that my favorite fantasy novel is probably Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Mystery, suspense and thrillers, baby! I can't name just one favorite, sorry. But this is the genre I read and write. I am also a lover of classics, but MTS is what I'm addicted to. I'm partly psychotic myself so I need a genre that stimulates my insanity. LOL. I don't care for any other genre. I'll read a different type of book if it strikes me but I don't venture outside MTS regularly.

My favorite classics are The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. My favorite short story is The Tell-Tale Heart and anything else by Edgar Allan Poe.

Best Wishes!

History and Sci-Fi are my go to genres. I have always enjoyed reading military history and strategy. My all time favorite is Hannibal by Theodore Dodge (He lost a leg at Gettysburg but still hiked the Alps to trace the path Hannibal might have taken). For Sci-Fi I like Dune as the best all time single book although it is almost to hard to pick a single sci-fi book.
I also read theology and Like C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity for starters.
Hope this helps you break out a bit.
