i largely prefer to read non-fiction books on sociology or psychoanalysis-- which is funny given that i otherwise value whimsy most out of anything xP

I always thought I preferred science fiction like Jules Verne or H. G. Wells, but looking back over my GoodReads it seems to be historical fiction/survival fiction (Will Hobbes, Gary Paulsen) mixed with YA books I mostly read in school. It's hard to pin down for me lol

The amazing thing about Quest Diagnostics' services is that they cater to the budgetary requirements of the patients as well. If you are currently having trouble with your finances, Quest provides flexible payment plans that let you pay in small Quest Diagnostics Bill

I mostly read nonfiction. Lots of autobiographies, memoirs and books on certain subjects. I want to jump back into Russian literature and I'm hoping to settle in with a fiction writer who has a long bibliography and go through that over time

shounen and seinen for comics, detectives and russian sci-fi for books (russian is less idealist so it makes me less mad about the fact we're in a low tech dystopia)

I'm into high fantasy. Right now I'm huge into Cosmere, like Stormlight Archives and Mistborn. I'm trying to get into Wheel of Time but the prose is kind of dry and I'm having trouble getting past the first book.

I had trouble getting past the first Stormlight Archives book too but that series ended up becoming my favorite book series of all time so sometimes it's worth powering through a tedious beginning, lol.

It's sci-fi for me! Actually I end up reading half science fiction and half fantasy, but I like sci-fi more. I'm too deep into feminist science fiction and I'm always looking for novels written in the 70-80's.
I'm also starting to read in between some YA and romantic novels. It helps to relax after reading some dark, cryptic science fiction.

And I'm constantly reading fanfiction too.
