Just a poll to see what genre you like, and what type of book in that genre.
I think I got some major ones:
Science Fiction
Military/Espionage
Fantasy

Edited by The Cellar Door: 6/1/2016 8:20:12 PMI tend to stick to a lot of philosophy when I read. As interesting as a fantasy may be to some, I find them boring for the most part. Reading literature which examines, criticizes, analogues, etc. reality and moral dilemmas is infinitely more interesting to me. This can be woven into an elegant story, but I often find authors take too much time telling their story and not enough time speaking on the messages they want to convey. Many fantasies are really just too wordy. I don't mind reading a 1,000 page book, but what's the purpose if 900 pages could have been taken out and the same message conveyed?
