I locked and moved the old thread. The upgraded polls now allow for more than one choice, and I've allowed for 20 choices in this query.

I prefer Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels followed closely by humor. If there is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel that is also humorous, then I tend to read it over and over.

I also like to read and use Tech Reference Manuals but that isn't listed, so I voted for None of the Above. The last time I really got into a Tech Manual was back in the late 80's to early 90's sometime. (Sorry, would have to look at my resume to give a closer time frame.) I was having trouble getting a database access program I was working on to work the way I wanted it to, so wrote a special test program for it that proved there was a bug in the database program itself. I sent the Access program and test data to the Developers and they admitted there was a problem!

I dabble in most of the others, mostly when my wife finds something she really likes and offers it to me for a quick read. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I don't, it all depends upon how good the author is.

About the only thing I truly dislike are Murder Mysteries. I hate the level of detail they seem to be forced to put into them, as I always think it a waste of human life, even though I know it's only a story.
