On a personal note, I prefer military sci-fi when I need to defuse; fantasy when I'm feeling adventurous or hyper; romance when I'm over worked or over tired; young adult fantasy and action adventure when I need to recharge; mystery when I want a challenge. I want an escape when I read - literary fiction is often to close to real life, you know what I'm trying to escape.
Amy Tan for example is an absolutely fabulous author - and her books bore me to tears. I just want to escape them. Not because her writing isn't wonderful, it pulls me in and I see everything... unfortunately I don't want to be there.
...80 whole cents? Well I tried to add to your collection when I was a bookseller - I love your books and they were an easy upsell. Now of course I have to go find them all as e-books (can't read the print in regular books anymore) so I'm giving the whole Cast series to my sister and making *ahem* encouraging her to read them :)
