What stories do you like to read? Is it crime, thrillers, detectives, science fiction, westerns, romance (present day or historical), horror and vampire stories that draws your interests?
Or do you prefer true stories of peoples' lives, like memoirs, biographies or auto-biographies?
And which authors are or have been your favourites?

That's a whole bunch of questions ...
I don't think reading is a "habit" ... I don't believe the format is all that important ... I like science fiction. Asimov (particularly "Foundation") ... Herbert's "Dune" novels ... anything by Niven; (particularly "Ringworld") ... I don't see "memoirs, biographies or auto-biographies" as being "true'; in fact, I would argue that they out-fiction fiction; anyone who has plowed through Newman's "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" usually comes to a similar conclusion. Bottom line is: they are as "real" as "reality shows."
Interesting questions though.
