My reading habits, in roughly the order I like them:
FANTASY! From Harry Potter to DragonLance, I like them. Not into "gothic" stuff (like Ravenloft), though. Fravorite authors: Robert Salvatore, Elaine Cunningham
Adventure--favorite author: Clive Cussler
Mystery--mostly murder-mysteries. Favorite authors: Lilian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who... books), Sue Grafton ("alphabet" mysteries)
Sci-Fi--mostly Star Trek
History--currently reading the history of VMF-214, better known as Pappy Boyington's Black Sheep
True crime--Ann Rule
That's about it.
