You forgot fantasy! I’m a fantasy/scifi reader. When I read. I have not been able to read for 6 years.

I like fantasy/sci fi, historical fiction, autobiography and biographies, some nonfiction depending on my mood.
Right now I’m reading Never Have Your Dog Stuffed. It’s an autobiography from Alan Alda. I started reading it because he apparently talks a lot about his mom growing up and she had schizophrenia.

Math textbooks.
Forgot non fiction! I can’t read due to concentration issues, but listen to non fiction audio books.
Classic fiction
Action and adventure
light comedy
Psychology textbooks and psychology books. Mainly psychology. I have enjoyed sci-fi for sure.
My favorite book is actually Heart of Darkness. I like classics that delve into the dark side of humanity. Faust and Waiting for Godot are some of my faves too.
I had to intensively read and annotate those books for AP literature. I did well in that class despite being off my rocker. I think being off my rocker helped me understand the material. Honors physics? Lol no I made a C

Wow… another Joseph Conrad fan…
Love that book… as well as Almayer’s Folly and Typhoon.
Outpost of progress is a bit like Heart of Darkness…

My stepdad had an amazing library, and one of my very favorite finds from it was Burnham’s Celestial Handbook, which is a three volume meandering stargazing journal, filled with all sorts of facts and stories and musings about the night sky. This would be my desert island book.

Ever read Linda goodmans sun signs? I reckon it’s the most well written astrology book. That wouldn’t be my desert island book, I’d pick the whole Carlos castenada collection 
okay I cheat. But sun signs Is up there.
My desert island book would be a book on string theory or quantum mechanics. Maybe a great book on metaphysics. Only one I’m aware of is Aristotle’s and it seems dated.
I used to have that one, back when I used to draw birth charts. It was a lot of fun.
Another one that’s really fun, believe it or not, is Erwin Chemerinsky’s Constitutional Law, about the US Constitution and amendments. If I were off on a several months retreat, I might take that one.
Depends on my mood. Most of the times i read either philosophy or history. But i also enjoy a novel from time to time.
I really wish I could have had more options. I had a whole conversation with Ruebot on how to do this. He said it looked ok but it would work. Turns out you can only have so many options.
Makes sense though.
