What genres do you like to read?

I like a good murder mystery, some Black Dagger Brotherhood vampire books, most dystopian novels, a lot of Stephen King, James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, and Harlan Coben and every once in a while a good romance thrown in for good measure. 

I guess I'm in the minority because I love sci-fi, fantasy, post apocalyptic, speculative fiction. I love imagining places totally different to the here and now. It's mainly all I read, although I do like some regular fiction, quirky memoirs, etc.

Zero interest in romance, mysteries or religious fiction.

That sounds so pretentious though don't you think?
Someone in a Goodreads groups said I read a lot of literary fiction and I was like "no I don't, I just read 'normal' books"...lol.
However technically it's true, but I wish it had a different name, so that I don't sound like a such book snob when I say it.

I've been actively trying to broaden my reading over the last two years and trying out all different genres.
I'm surprised at some of what I have enjoyed so it's easier to list what is definitely out:

I really can't get on with proper science fiction, if there are any sort of monsters or made up creatures or different planets or new languages etc...I'm definitely out.
I also don't like fantasy in general...no non humans, no fairies (especially if they are spelled "fae" on the cover!)no shifters, no vampires etc.

No erotica, I don't mind the occasional normal/short sex scene in books but no long descriptions of moaning and gasping and who put what where.
No romance only books and no Christian fiction. No Stephen King.
No books where spy/espionage/politics etc are the main themes.
I'll also avoid most books that have "Book xx" on the cover, as I don't like reading series.

Anything else I'm pretty much open to.

The vast majority of books I read are crime fiction eg. Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, Jeffery Deaver, Ian Rankin, Angela Marsons etc. 

The older I get the less likely I am to read much else. In the last month or so I have started to read 2 books that would be considered chick lit, and I gave up on both of them after the first chapter. Marian Keyes in an exception to that - I will read anything she writes. 

I am not interested at all in fantasy, sci fi or romance. 

Historical fiction, mysteries and romance would be at the top of my list. Not interested in sci-fi.

I only read romance and erotica.

I don't like historical romance.

I read of ton of books on my Kindle app. At least 2 or more books a week.

If anyone wants some recommendations let me know.

I don't post on the weekly what I read thread because I think most ppl don't like those genres of literature.

I love all kinds of movies and ones with deep plots but for literature I just want an escape and fluff!

I like historical and modern fiction, as well as biographies and autobiographies.  I don't care for crime stories or fantasy. 

You should put yourself out there on the reading thread -- you'd be surprised. I've heard the exact same thing from another pea about romance and erotica, so I know there are other people on the board with the same interest. Unfortunately, not my interest, but if you hear about a great new mystery, send it along!

There is definitely overlap between historical fiction and literary fiction - I kind of view historical fiction as a subset of literary fiction. 

Other media has taken over my reading. Up through my mid-30s i was a voracious reader. No genre or subject was off limits. As i've gotten older my scope has narrowed to mostly apocalyptic, paranormal, sci-fi/fantasy all with a romantic element.
To try and turn this around i joined a book club last month. I knew going in that most book clubs are going to be picking what they think are acceptable literary fiction (not my preferred genre). Most say that's not how it is, but the first book was right up that alley. I hated that damn book and all it's cynical depression masquerading as "literary".
Book 2 looks fun, so i think i'll continue.
Book 1: Goodnight, Nebraska
Book 2: The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency

For me, no horror, vampires, supernatural or erotica. I rarely go for chick lit, either, unless you consider Liane Moriarty chick lit.

My fave is crime, thriller and mysteries. I love RJ Ellory, David Baldacci, John Katzenbach, Dennis Lehane, Harlan Coben and yes, even John Grisham. And now, thanks to the weekly reading thread, John Hart!

I also love historical fiction and literary fiction. I know there's some overlap, but I still see them as separate.

I read a little romance but only if it is secondary to the main story. Sci fi is okay. I like some YA and dystopian as well.

Murder mysteries are my favorite.

Right now I'm working my way back through the outlander series. It's surprising me how into it I am as I don't typically like history or romance anything.

I love historical fiction, historical non-fiction, fantasy, romance, general fiction, biographies, craft books, art history, garden, interior design, young adult and some mysteries. I also love classic novels, dystopian and literary fiction.

Actually, I just love to read, lol. I just should have listed all the genres.

I understood what you were trying to convey. Yes, I have got the side eye when I say I read literary fiction. I understand that it sounds snobbish to a lot of people. Truly, it is not. It is a genre. Most award books fall under literary fiction. I love my Harlequin novels and enjoy finding new treasures every week. Last week I finally got The Miniaturist to put in my TBR pile. There it is on the pile with my Harlequin novels.

Don't worry about being a book snob when you say literary fiction. Book snob is pretty cool thing to be. Seriously, if you feel a bit snobbish saying it I have also said New York Times Best Seller List or Award winning novels. The New York Times Best Seller List can blow up on you too. I said that recently and somebody asked me if I read Nora Robert's new one. No, I haven't. I got the side eye for that. I have read hundreds of Nora Robert's novels. I was reading her Harlequin/Silhouette novel lines when she first got her start. I went up all the way to the mid-2000's with her work. I am a bit burned out on Nora. I am sure Nora would understand. She is sweet like that.

People who know me in real life are always surprised when they hear my preferred genres generally involve shoot 'em up spy thrillers, zombies, post apocalyptic (of all sorts) and the like. lol

I do read other genres-and am a long time member of a book club that forces me to read way outside my normal reading choices (I think it would fall into the literary fiction category. ) I do randomly enjoy some historical fiction, but don't particularly enjoy romance novels, and I almost uniformly dislike what generally falls in the chic lot category.

But give me a good spy guy out to save the world from the bad guy terrorists and I'm a happy girl. Or zombies. Or a false flag EMP. Or...
