I am curious to what is your favorite genre in Books

I want to know what is your favored area? A few years ago I found in a library "Clan Of The Cave Bear" by Jean M. Auel. A brief historic view on the creation of Cro-Magdom Man, and their survival.
EXELENT! Suggest to me a favorite author.

I have many genres on my shelves. The biggest section is SF/Fantasy going back to 1900 and up to present day. Mostly paperbacks (EE Doc smith, John Wyndham, Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov etc, but also hardbacks from Anne MCaffrey & Terry Pratchett (of which all 1st editions, some signed. Some reference, biography, and a smattering of many others

SciFi/Fantasy. Todd or Anne McCaffrey (mother/son)

BTW I Read that decades ago. Kind of found it boring if I remember correctly.

@DeWayfarer I met Anne McCaffrey at a signing. Looks like Todd has not published for a while.

@Robert Yes, I have noticed. Would be nice if he would continue something other than the pern series. Acornia or Tower and hive series would be nice.

I love ficiton, especially mysteries. You might enjoy Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child...they sometimes write novels together. Douglas Preston wrote one called Tyrannosaur Canyon that I enjoyed. Tony Hillerman writes some very interesting murder mysteries that all occur on the Navajo Indian reservation. It's a very interesting insight into Navajo customs and how they meet the modern world.

Peanut, I find it difficult to start a new or different read when I am still working with 'The One' Off the Top of my head I cannot recall the Author, However you might find interest in those by Jean M. Auel. She DARES the reader to take baby steps back in time before the Earths Creation. I am certain you will love her first.

@Carla1951 I first read CotCB when I was 9, my dad rented the movie, which was terrible, and he noticed that I liked the story idea, the movie was boring me to tears. So, he told me he had the books, and he never got his books back! I have a copy of Clan of the Cave Bear staring at me from my bookshelf.

Interesting. I never knew Cave Bear was a Film.Still I had a difficult time learning she was raped by her brother.
I hear there are others that write in the same hand.
As a child I read every single 'Nancy Drew' my hands could touch.

Yes I googled and saw a bunch of “Presents” books. Thanks!

@4thdimensiondream Same here. I assumed he was a producer. I believe Hitchcock was reported by a few actresses of his bad habits in GROPING the women.

I like older science fiction. Stanislaw Lem was pretty great.

I also like satire in all categories.

I LOVE ' Clan of the Cave Bear', and have since I was young. I'd suggest " The Girl with the Dragon tattoo'.
