What's your favorite genre...?
So many of us are picky about the literature that we read. (I've been told a couple of times - well many many times actually - that I am a "Poetry-snob")
It's not true! I swear it LOL
But anyway - What's your favorite genre? Let's talk about it! Choose each option that may apply.

---Doublepost Automerged---
Well - I'm an avid reader So I chose all but "Plays & Scripts" Never could get into the Shakespearian vybe, although I love seeing it on the bigscreen... I've come to love reading poetry online. Actually much more than just getting into a good poetry book - I love novels of all kinds & even love reading historical dramas & autobiographies... I read a very interesting biography about John Coltrane not to long ago - I think it was titled A Love Supreme or some such - after his great masterpiece! Never have gotten into remembering the titles though LOL...
My favorite novel of all time is Janet Fitch's White Oleander - It was an Oprah pic, not that I really value her opinion on literature or what-not - But Oleander was absolutely fabulous!
Enough about me - What about you?
Jacquii.

Let's see ....Ummmmm.... I love Poetry, however, I will buy Classic books of poetry by the greats, for example Langston Hughes, Phyllis Wheatley, Jupiter Hammon, Ms Browning, and etc. Otherwise, I agree with Ms Jacquii, I read read Poetry on the Internet. I love reading Negroe Spirituals as well.
Romance Fiction---I am not a fan of Romance anything, LOL!!!!
Urban Fiction---I will read Urban Fiction, if presented to me, however, I find myself, not seeking it out to read.
Plays & Scripts---LOVE plays & Scripts...I used to write beautiful plays...and am thinking about writing one. Love ya Shakespeare!!! I know, I was in Macbeth, in a past life!! LOL!!!
Historical Non-Fiction---LOVE IT!!! One should never stop inspiring to learn.
Historical Fiction---Not a big fan of this genre.
Personal Essays---Will read, ONLY IF, the subject, or Concept is interesing to me, otherewise, I will not bother!! I REALLY have to be in the mood to read an Essay. I will read how people, children have overcome life's obstacles though. I will read how or what organizations have helped people with mental obstacles, drugs, alcohol, natural disasters, rape, abuse, family counseling, and such.
Western Fiction---Western Who?? Western What?? LOL!!!
Ethnic Stories---Yes, mostly education related. I love to read stories of how diverse youth may struggle, face even danger (even death), to overcome many obstacles for life, and etc...
Science Fiction---It is OK, however, I am a treky, STAR TREK, that is,. One of my Iguanas is named after a STAR TREK character!!! LOL!!!! Gotta love me!!!

AHA! I see I am in WONDERFUL company here! I too am a TREKKY and though I like romantic poetry - (at times) - you'll never see me with a Harlequinn! I much prefer Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Also love True Crime. Also love the classics, Nicholas Nickleby is my all time favorite!
Good Poll!
