On the subject. What kind of books do you read most often, regardless of purchase or borrowing?/ How often do you read?

In order:

1. Fantasy ^^ See the signature quote. A lot of people say they don't like fantasy, although often those people haven't read too much of it. I challenge anyone not to enjoy A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin.

2. Very, very often.

I have the hugest freakin' collection of Star Wars books. That was the only thing that I would read when I was 10-12. Now I hardly read at all, but when I do read, it's either action/sci-fi, or spy thriller. I even started reading a book about Merlin, before King Arthur's court.

I haven't bought a book in years since I have a relative who works near a library - and he gives me boxes of books on a monthly basis. But my mom bought me the Harry Potter set when the new book came out (she's a big fan, and she wants me to write fantasy instead of horror ~_~ ), and the last book I read (two days ago, I'm afraid) was House of Secrets by Lowell Cauffiel - a true and very twisted story. ^_^; I like to read documentaries on US psychos, call me strange, but I'm interested in cases where real life insanity is even more horrific than fiction - I'm an old King, Koontz, and Straub fan when it comes to novels.
