I was wondering hehe ^^ I'm a fantasy bookworm I think. I don't like futuristic stories, the only ones I've read really are The Supernaturalists and Shade's Children, both of which are set in the future, but have kind of a medieval theme xD.
Current Favourites Are; Incarceron & Sapphique - Catherine Fisher(Both are absolutely amazing, most recommended) The Wheel Of Time Books - Robert Jordan (I have read up to book ten, and it is truly a worthwhile read. Loooong books but seriously, you don't even realise it due to the amazing plotline etc.) The Power Of Five- Anthony Horrowitz (Yus...xD I am shameless, I love this. I think it is awesome)
Any thoughts?

I've never read any of those books, but will potentially pick them up at some point to do so.
Myself? I'm probably a fantasy bookworm as well... be it Vampires, Wolves, Cats (Yes, I've read and enjoyed the Warrior series), what have you.
I really need to read more though... I've been neglecting that so badly lately.
I just picked up the first book in the "House of Night" series... only one chapter in, but so far, it's decent.

I love books. If I had to classify myself, I think I'd be a fantasy/romance/horror/sci fi book worm.
I have to agree with you, Imaginatio. I don't like futuristic books, myself. I prefer books to be either in the medieval times or present.
Some books that I've been reading are: -The Dark Series by Christine Feehan -The Dark Hunter series by Sherlyn Kenyon -The Morganville Series (Can't think of Author)
As you can see, I like to read series. =^^=

I couldn't classify myself.... I'll read whatever is sat infront of me.... I've read three sets of encylopedias and a dictionary for the fun of it... And because I was bored... Haha!
I guess there are a few books that I am completely enticed with... *The Black Dagger Brotherhood (Series)~J.R. Ward *The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe~E.A.P. *Cell~Stephen King *The Complete Works of Shakespeare~Shakespeare *Heart of Darkness~Joseph Conrad
I enjoy the classics mostly... And Horror. Pretty big fan of Romance as well. Yeah... I'll read anything that is sat infront of me. Hahaha! I usually always have a book on me and am reading a new one daily... It's rather funny the looks I get when I'm sitting on a park bench and reading Hamlet or Dante's Inferno. Haha! But I love to read, so I'm cool with it.

Stephen King! I've just today finished reading Lisey's story and shall be taking it back to the Library to get another one out hehe. I love Stephen King as well, he's probably the only horror writer I can read (Rather ironic as some of his books are quite gory). King books I have read;
Carrie Nightmares and Dreamscapes Bag O Bones Needful Things The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordan Misery The Stand (The uncut edition. Yuppers, all thirteen hundred pages of it ) The Shining Lisey's Story
There may be more but that's all I can remember at the moment. Unfortunately I haven't yet read Cell, but I would like to, as well as The Running Man and some others hehe ^^

I personally like anything. Not into History books as much though. Non-fiction bores me, but I do read up on some things at times. My favorite is probably Realistis fiction. I like books that the main character has troubles, with drugs, their mother is sick, they're sick. Stuff like that, I guess I am a gluton for punishment cause I always cry XD. House Of The Night Series- P.C Cast + Kristen Cast The Mortal Instruments series- Cassandra Clare Southern Vampire Mysteries- Charlaine Harris Warriors seriesHunter Twilight Series- Stephanie Meyer Animal Ark series (So what? They are okay-ish XD)- Ben Baglio Phantom Stallion series- Terri Farley Pony Pals series- Jeanne Betancourt. Seven Tears into the Sea- Terri Farley The Looking Glass Wars- Frank Beddor Romeo And Juliet (the play)- Shakespear More to come. I love to read.

Oh oh oh. I can do this. xP
• Black Dagger Brotherhood series - J.R.Ward • Immortals After Dark series - Kresley Cole • The Dark Hunter series - Sherrilyn Kenyon • The Lords of Avalon series - Kinley McGreggor [ Sher. Keny.] • The Nightwalkers series - Jacquelyn Frank • The Nightdwellers series - Jacquelyn Frank • The Others series - Christine Warren • The Dark series - Christine Feehan • The Ghostwalkers series - Christine Feehan • The Drake Sisters series - Christine Feehan • The Leopard series - Christine Feehan • Anything by Nora Roberts • Anything by Susan Elizabeth Phillips • The Aisling Grey, Guardian series - Katie MacAlister • Anything by Julia London • Anything my Linda Lael Miller • Anything by Diana Palmer [ can actually say I've read all her books ] • The Demonica series - Larissa Ione • The Immortals quartet - Temora Pierce • The Song of the Lioness quartet - Temora Pierce • Anything by Temora Pierce • Helen of Troy series-ish thing - Ester Friesner • Cast in Shadows [ is a series forgot it's name] - Michelle Sagara • The Green Rider series - Kristen Britain • The Warrior Cat series - Erin Hunter • The Eragon quartet - Christopher Paolini • Anything by Carly Phillips • Poison Study, Magic Study, and Fire Study - Maria V. Snyder • Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
And I think Imma stop now. But this is only a little bit of the stuff I read. Mosty supernatural romance, some more teenage books that I love, that don't have anything to do with crap young people romance or boarding schools. lol Anything that has magic, myth, and good plot is up my alley. I can't stand a sad ending, and I don't like horror if it doesn't have a bit of sex, justice, and good vs. evil, [ plus a happy ending ]. And when I say 'Anything by..' I mean everything. And I've probably already read most of them.

Okay... I gotta say this... Ker, Imaginatio... I love you. I love the types of books you guys read XD
The Inkheart Series- Cornelia Funke The Fire Within Series- Chris D'Lacey Animal Farm- George Orwell 1984- George Orwell The Twilight Series (before it was popular) Crank- Ellen Hopkins Burned- Ellen Hopkins Impulse- Ellen Hopkins The Immortal Instruments Series- Cassandra Clare The Sweep Series- Cate Tiernan The Sight- David Clement-Davies Good Omens- Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett Betwixt- Tara Bray Smith
And so much more... I just can't list them all XD
But yeah. I like fantasy, romance, horror with some romance... but most of it has to be fantasy. But ever since the twilight fad, the bookstore is over run with vampire series. Sure, they're cool and all, but it's getting annoying with how many there are. They're pushing out all of the good books. But I'll try reading some of the books you guys have read... they sound interesting and I'm always up for a good read. =3 [/color][/size]

Okay... I gotta say this... Ker, Imaginatio... I love you. I love the types of books you guys read XD Yay! I am love ^^ xD. I love having common interests with other people, especially books because there are so many amazing books out there.
Reading is awesome, because it sort of inspires me to get better in my own writing/typings. And yeah, loving the Twilight (before it was popular) Did anyone else seriously doubt Robert Pattinsons ability to even come close to the sort of breathtaking look that Edward had?
Woah Oo reading over that just now made me feel like a fangirl Dx.
