What Type of Books Do You Like?

rainee SG

Question inspired after a trip to the national library in singapore yesterday and spent like 5 to 6 hours there Laughing

(Sidetrack a bit-the national library looks like an office building! It is one of the biggest I have seen so far, never see a library which has 13 floors before. It is one of my definitions of heaven Embarassed )

Do you like:

Romance?
Science Fiction/Fantasy Novels?
Horror?
Mystery/Thriller?
Others (pls mention what)

And oh yea, mention your fave author(s) too Very Happy

Personally I love mystery/thriller the most, prolly cos I grew up reading Nancy Drew, the Fantastic Five and other mystery novels...now I am addicted to Agatha Christie's (the so-called Queen of Mystery Novels) books Mr. Green

i er.... read english non-fiction and chinese fiction.... english non-fics include books on biology (honestly, do i really need to say this out loud? Laughing ), psychology, pets (again, you know which type Embarassed ), philosophy, and some other more obscure stuff... chinese novels... i dun have any fav authors lah, prob cos i dun remember names all that well anyway.. haha.... but i usually borrow xun2 meng4 yuan2 series. i find the words easier to read.

Xtrider SG

Thrillers Michael crichton/dan brown
Fantasy David eddings / some other authors
Knowledge Astrophysics/metaphysics and other random stuff tt i happen to
pick up
Others Erm...those from ASEAN authors? stuff like sing to dawn la..etc
IMO these books are the hardest to find

The man who was death SG

I like those light hearted, casual reading books that u find it really hard to categorize it..... Mr. Green

Non-fictional books and mystery/thriller books.

Non-fictional books - I like reading the different points of views.

Mystery/thriller books - I think my nick says it all. Nancy Drew books... but not the campus version please. Sucks great time. A few others which I like, Momo, Z for Zachariah and a few I can't recall.

No favourite authors, contents interesting can liao.
