Books! ^^ I love books. All kinds of books! Right now I am very slowly making my way through an English translation of Cervantes' 'Don Quixote', the first ever modern novel as it is called, and it's pretty funny. I find it amazing that something written five hundred years ago still has the ability to make me laugh out loud. Anyway, it's a good book. Very entertaining, although a bit hard to read because of the old language (Cervantes needs to watch those run-on sentences).
Let's see, I haven't really been keeping on top of my series lately, but being that I love adventure-on-the-high-seas stories, some of my favorite series are The Bloody Jack adventures, the Temerarie books, and The Lord Ramage novels, which are all aimed toward teen/adult audiences.
For children's/teen series I am stuck in all the drama of Chris D'Lacey's Dragon Chronicles (My gosh, the drama!), Percy Jackson (haven't actually gotten around to reading the last book yet), Avalon: Web of Magic (it's for like ten year olds, but it's brilliant and I love it. I've read the whole series like, three times), The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and all of Tamora Pierce's Tortall books, although I'm really behind and haven't read Mastiff yet. There's probably a lot more, but those are just some of my favorites I can think of off my head. I enjoy reading both adult, teen, and children's literature.
My favorite genre is historical fiction/historical fantasy, with general all around fantasy as a close second. I love adventure stories above all. I love reading classics too, like 'Don Quixote', 'The Jungle Book', 'Treasure Island', and mythology, 'The Illiad', 'The Mabinogion', etc. I'm currently trying to read more Sci-Fi right now, like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. My least favorite 'genre' is paranormal romance. I'm sorry to those who like it but 'paranormal romance' should not be a genre. And it should not take up 75% of the bookstore. Yuck! I really avoid romance novels of any kind due to bad expirences. Some of those books, I just don't see how they ever got published.
