Poll:

[Rat Faced]

Someone asked for a poll.......

I guess that SiFi/Fantasy is in the lead at the start ;)

[Curley]

Hey good idea RF ;)

I've chosen horror cause most of my books are Stephen King/James Herbert/Richard Layman etc.

[{I}{K}{E}]

I like 3:
-Horror
-SiFi/Fantasy
-Crime/Thriller/Mystery

[soopaman]

I voted for Crime/Thriller... although I do read a lot of books on Physics/Astronomy/Cosmology. I enjoy reading them as much but not purely for enjoyment purposes. :D

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

:P Yes.....I was the one that voted Romance! :P

Even though Sexual Thrillers are also nice. :D

[Skweeky]

wooohooo, us SciFi/Fantasy fans are winning!

[Curley]

Nope... us horror fans are winning :P

[Rat Faced]

Well, Technically.......

Horror is a sub category of Fantasy.... :rolleyes:

And FC's definition of 'Romance' could be interpretted as Fantasy too.....

So SiFi/Fantasy is definately in the lead ;)

yes, I agree!!! Fantasy Fantasy Fantasy Fantasy Fantasy Fantasy!!!!

[RedRival]

I definite NONO towards reading horror fiction for fun. I'm chicken at heart and I absolutely need to hug my pillow hard and have lotsa blankets after watching ot reading any content to do with horror. :unsure:

[Curley]

Nooooooooooo.... its a conspiracy I tell ya! The horror of it!

[Darth Sushi]

Thrillers, particularly techno-thrillers. ;)

And techno/thrillers are often sci-fi too...so there we are again! lol

[Wolfmight]

I like: Action/Adventure

[Curley]

:blink: Its very close, in fact its neck & neck :blink:

[NotoriousBIC]

Well, just added another rat to the rat race!
All Forsyth, Grisham, Crichton, Harris etc. fans unite and vote for the Crime/Thriller/Mystery novels!

[hammermaff]

Come on the crime/thriller/mystery!!!!

It's a mystery to me, how west ham got relegated today :(
Such a crime! :angry:
But at least it went to a final day thriller!!! :o

[Amarjit]

Don't any of you realise you're spelling sci fi wrong?

C'mon, this is bookworld, books involve grammar :lol:!

Anyway, I voted for other, because action doesn't seem to be listed, and also, perhaps fiction?

[amphoteric88]

[tracydani]

I'd have to say about 65% sci fi/fantasy and 35% a mix of most others( no romance unless FC's counts) :)

[Curley]

Sci fi can also be spelt like sifi, depending on which country you come from. Its like the spelling of programme can also be spelt like program :)

[Rat Faced]

Thankyou Curley, thats what i thought....

The only place I ever saw Sci Fi is on the Sci Fi channel.

At my Library it definatly has a SiFi/Fantasy Section.........but I bow to your superior intelect.

Im just an uneducated Geordie, and would hate to get into a discussion on the correct use of the English language..............even an Australian would win ;)

[ToraBoraDweller]

I voted no nr 1: horror
But certain books are hard to fit exactly in a specific category.
H.P.Lovecraft's work e.g. would fit sometimes under Fantasy or
sometimes even sci-fi. :sorcerer:

[MagicNakor]

I hated answering that question. ;) I don't have a specific genre I like to read most often. I've got a lot of fantasy, and some sci-fi, but I also enjoy the "classics" very very much. And certain history books are most entertaining. I guess my taste in literature is just as eclectic as my taste in music. :D

:ninja:

[marine_aart]

[Luca_Snipes]

[TRshady]

I voted Biography's, find them most interesting :)

[N£MO]

I voted under other.

Mostly educational what i read -_- ^_^ <_<

[Jayhawk]

You can not go wrong with a good action war book. CATCH 22

[namzuf9]

I read all of the above but I&#39;d say that sci-fi and fantasy make up the bulk of my collection.

Best war book i&#39;ve read is Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose.

I&#39;ve also read most of Andy McNabs books (the retired SAS chap)

i saw the tv-series &#39;band of brothers&#39; so i do not need to read that either&#33;&#33;

Hail to Movieworld&#33;&#33;

[Curley]

Yeah but the book is more often than not better than the film, I find.

:angry: <_< READ it makes you seem smarter atleast. It also helps with your writing.

[tianup]

For those who read Catch 22, you should read Something Happened. It&#39;s the sequel, which was written many years later, and stars most of the main characters in their retirement years. Wonderful book - imagine Yossarian with denture and diapers - anyway, it&#39;s just as good IMHO, and perhaps a little more tongue-in-cheek (if that&#39;s possible).

[Curley]

Yay&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; My ideas been made a sticky.... first time thats ever happened :P

[Skweeky]

YAY&#33;&#33;&#33; Us SciFi/Fantasy lovers win&#33;&#33;
