People ask me all the time what's my favorite genre when it comes to books. And every time I go blank, in my head I'm thinking "Well, let me read it and I'll let you know if I like it." To be honest I don't have a favorite genre. I like books from Harry Potter to Macbeth, to To Kill a Mockingbird to The Host. I mean, it really ranges everywhere. Right now I'm discovering how much I like Lois Lowry. She wrote The Giver and I thought it was amazing but I read it back in 8th grade. Now, I'm currently reading Gathering Blue by her and can hardly put it down! Usually, I like to have a modest respectful like romance in my reading material but so far she hasn't given me that and I still enjoy her books. It truly amazes me.
Another recent discovery is plays. Just, plays in general! I love William Shakespeare, Bernard Shaw, Lorraine Hansberry, and any other author I can get my hands on. All of the ones I have read have some form of comedy in it. But I didn't always like plays. It wasn't until my second year in Literature Analysis that I began to appreciate it. One of our books was Cerano de Bergerac, and it was ahmazzzing! I laughed my head off in class! Sometimes plays have to take a little more effort to enjoy but once you do they are simply great. :)
If you're not a reader I suggest you become one because once you pick up just the right book it's like being thrown into Wonderland and you just can't get enough of it.
