What kind of books do you like reading?

[Farseer]

Though I do really enjoy fantasy books, I'd have to agree with Mervi in that, rather than go out looking for a particular genre, I tend to look at the subject matter etc if I am unfamiliar with an author.

I'm not sure why but, over the course of my life, I seem to have gravitated most toward books/novels that include knights and/or dragons (ok, so the latter means fantasy!), or are based on the American Civil War, the Holocaust, the history and development of Australia and Amercia's West, or Indigenous Australians and Native Americans.

Still, I read pretty much anything (except Mills and Boon-type romances, particularly when featured in a rural setting...why am I thinking of Rachael Treasure ?!) and find I am just as happy reading a non-fiction book on physics as I am reading an autobiography on Kostya Tszyu, an Archie comic, a book of poetry by Banjo Paterson or even a dictionary!
