What kind of books do you like reading?

[redchild]

Usually fantasy, sci-fi, nonfiction (biographies, memoirs, science, cookbooks, personality theory...basically on anything and anyone I am currently interested in researching) and art books (technique, reference, 'art of,' specific artist.)

For some reason, I can never get into mystery/crime novels or fiction that takes place in present day reality. The payoff isn't enough for me. And I have never touched a romance novel in my life.

If there's a genre I do seem to avoid, it's mystery/crime and I wish I'd never touched a romance novel ...though I must admit that I enjoy a good romance as part of an intelligent sub-plot.

I'm also pretty picky with biographies/autobiographies...there are just so many out there and the majority seem to have a hidden agenda as the motivation for the task (eg to have a go at someone) rather than an interesting story to share. I'd think twice about reading one at the moment, even if I was really interested in the person being written about.

Yes I always approach them with a grain of salt. Reading more than one source gives me a more accurate picture. There are also some contradictions and/or inaccuracies in some books but are illuminated in another source.

But I'm not that nitpicky about knowing every single absolute detail of someone's life. Most of the time the person is deceased so it wouldn't really matter. So long as I get a good understanding of who the person was/is and their work's legacy then I'm pretty satisfied.

Здравствуйте всем! Решил спросить у форумчан, как реально быстрее подтянуть английский язык. Сейчас так много вариантов онлайн-школ и курсов, что глаза разбегаются. Расскажите, где вы занимаетесь и что оказалось эффективным. Интересуют онлайн-платформы, которые не тратят время впустую. Кто-то пользовался ли занятиями с репетитором, и стоит ли оно того по сравнению с курсами? Спасибо заранее за мнения и отзывы.

Creative dessert decorating experiences offer a engaging way for teams to connect together. Instead of typical group activities, decorating desserts encourages people to exchange ideas while creating something hands-on. These interactive experiences are often included in shared experiences, celebrations, and organized sessions. Individuals can practice introductory creative skills in a supportive environment. Because participation is group-based, these activities naturally support teamwork. Regardless of whether the focus is on group engagement, creative baking offers an enjoyable option for varied settings.

Choosing the right materials for a task plays a important role in how the final result holds up. The materials you select directly affect longevity and visual appeal. Multiple materials bring varied characteristics, with some being better suited for exposed conditions and others performing best in indoor environments. Evaluating factors like usage and budget helps ensure the finished work is both reliable and well-balanced.
