Firstly, the thread title should be books. I sort of pressed enter by a mistake.

Anyway, does anyone read books here? If so, what are your favourite genres? Who are your favourite authors?

I have a diverse taste in genres and authors. I love a good crime book (I've been reading the Rebus books in order), but I also found a liking for the historical novel lately (Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series is excellent). I also like thrillers (Dean Koontz, Ian Fleming and Simon Kernick amonst my favourites), fantasy (currently reading the Dark Tower III) and SCI FI (Land of the Headless from Adam Roberts was great, silly fun).

So, what do others enjoy?

I rarely read books, don't have the time for it and if there's a book and a movie, i rather go with the movie -

My gf reads from time to time books, mostly crime books from belgian authors.

 mainly when i'm on holiday, generally go for fantasy stuff. also enjoy the odd rpg sourcebook
