Gods; I read just whatever appeals to me-- regencies, modern supernatural comedies, hard scifi, period historicals, manga, serious murder-mysteries... you name it. Got tons and tons of favorite authors both past and current: Andre Norton, Robert Heinlein, Pratchett and Duane, Patricia Burke, Georgette Heyer, Spider Robinson, Tanya Huff, Neil Gaiman, Emma Bull... and scads of others that I can't think of at this time of the afternoon (I'm working on incoming autopsy reports & meeting minutes right now). If it looks good I'll read it; I even read the first Twilight book, just so I could get my facts straight when I mocked the little twiberries about the sparkly vampires. XD What did I think of it? It was okay-- nothing spectacular, and a real exercise in MarySueism.
Pretty much, if you rec it, I'll at least take a look; my tastes are wide-ranging enough in the fiction department that I'm willing to taste almost anything just in order to see if I like it. Non-fiction, now, that depends on the topic; I tend to look up books on mummification and other Egyptian things, and I pick up Japanese cookbooks way too often for my bank account's health, soooo... anything and everything.
