What Type of Books Do You Like?
-
Question inspired after a trip to the national library in singapore yesterday and spent like 5 to 6 hours there
(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
)
Do you like:
Romance?
Science Fiction/Fantasy Novels?
Horror?
Mystery/Thriller?
Others (pls mention what)
And oh yea, mention your fave author(s) too
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
-
fantasy ...... Raymond Feist

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 -
I like those light hearted, casual reading books that u find it really hard to categorize it.....
-
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. -
I also like Chick Lit! Novels like Shopaholics, Devils Wear Prada, etc attracts me
Loves Sophie Kinsella (can never find her newest book to loan in any library), Jane Green -
History books.. man i got a library of my own books in my hometown. This room full of books.. History from man marvels to war. Then i got Star Wars novels.. at elast.. 30 of them
