My favourite kind is fantasy. I'm a fan of sci-fi too but some of it is too scientific for me.

Sci Fi/fantasy or mystery. Depends on my mood.

Occasionally I find a good sci-fi mystery, that's the best :D

I like historical/speculative fiction, particularly in England/Europe/Skandinavia from about 400AD to around 1400AD. I am a big fan of Bernard Cornwell, Jack Whyte, Stephen Lawhead, Ken Follett and the like. I also like fantasy and sci-fi, but historical fiction is right in my wheelhouse.

Cornwell did a good job, but I have to give the edge to Jack Whyte on that one. The Dream of Eagles series was damn good.

I guess the broadest outline of my preferences would be "philosophical fiction."

First and foremost, I read science fiction, but I'm not much for hard science or space opera. More, I like science fiction because it allows for the exploration of pretty much any idea with any characters in any setting. And I tend toward the things that are more philosophical and/or social commentary - Gene Wolfe, Neal Stephenson, A.A. Attanasio, William Gibson, Ursula K. LeGuin, Neil Gaiman...

If I'm not reading science fiction, I tend toward the more overt philosophical literature - either classics like Dostoevsky or Hesse or Sartre or more modern and/or lighter variations like Marquez or Vonnegut or Tom Robbins.

Every once in a while though, for a bit of a change, I indulge in some straightforward action/adventure or mystery, preferably with a bit of humor - Carl Hiaasen is a perfect example.

Currently I am reading Gust Front by John Ringo though and am loving it (so I guess I like this sort of fiction). It's generic action movie in book form and it's wonderful in every way. Great read for when you just want to relax. Humans are getting attacked by an advanced race of crocodile centaurs. The Galactic Federation has given them just enough tech so Earth is not wiped out. The humans pretty much made the powered armor from Halo.
