Discussion Favourite Book Genre(s)

[Hobbit]

What's your favourite book genre/s?
I'm including any and every book, even manga, comics, and graphic novels.
Mine personally are fantasy (LOTR, Harry Potter, Witcher for me), manga (Nagatoro, Pokemon Adventures, Battle Royale manga), and "epics" (Battle Royale novel, 11/22/63). There's probably more I forgot to include but I'm too tired.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

I have mainly read fiction, but I would like to read more works of non-fiction on various topics.

There's nothing wrong with fiction, tbh. I hate those who "gatekeep" reading by saying fiction isn't worth reading; in my opinion, reading fiction is great for the imagination. Whereas reading non-fiction is great for knowledge, of course.
I recommend reading Hitler by Volker Ullrich (vol. 1 & 2); it's quite long (I believe 1800 pages in total roughly), but it covers every little aspect of his life. It's truly fascinating and doesn't seem to be propaganda-heavy whatsoever.

Mainly history and political science but that shit is boring so I also read fiction & philosophy. Mainly psychological dramas or fantasy. I like this series called Orïsha and I'm currently reading Hyperculture by Byung-chul Han. Very interesting and cool. The only history books/documents I still enjoy are those surrounding African history. Lots of untapped info to schizo babble about next time I'm asked

I don't have a favorite literary genre, but I read some philosophical books and short story anthologies.

 

[Raskolnikov]

I love philosophical and psychological novels. Fyodor Dostoevsky is my cup of tea, having unique philosophical and psychological insights but instead of only writing them, he realistically simulates the validity of them through deeply connected story arcs.
Have read so far of Dostoevsky:
Crime and Punishment (my favorite due to a personal connection to it)
The Brother's Karamazov (the best one objectively, insanely overlapping and keeping all details in mind)
Notes From Underground (the funniest by far, the first 60 pages are just a segment of continuous psychological revelations)
The Gambler (perfectly captures the dopamine and stress caused by addiction, a faster paced read compared to his other works)

Currently reading The Idiot.

Will read: White Nights, Demons.
