Poll question: Favorite kind of book
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 10:09 PM by mvd
I'll pick legal thrillers, though my Harry Potter love elevates fantasy.

8. Mostly history-related
I don't usually read books that deals with the improbable (But that doesn't mean I never do)

9. Spy novels (le carre, ludlum, cussler) and anything by Nelson Demille
I like other stuff, but I always return to those types of books when I really want to just ENJOY the experience.

13. I voted for mystery suspense
although I like romance thrown in with it. Examples are Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb, Kay Hooper, Jayne Ann Krentz, Linda Howard, Heather Grahm.

My favorite is Nora Roberts. I am addicted to her Eve Dallas "In Death" series, which are listed under her J.D. Robb pen name.
