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

Hey good idea RF ;)

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

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

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 ;)

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?

I'd have to say about 65% sci fi/fantasy and 35% a mix of most others( no romance unless FC's counts) :)
05-11-2003, 07:29 PM
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 :)

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 ;)

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:

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

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

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

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

For those who read Catch 22, you should read Something Happened. It'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's just as good IMHO, and perhaps a little more tongue-in-cheek (if that's possible).
