I also read anything that has words. If I don't have anything availble to read, I read bulletin boards, bill boards, people's t-shirts etc.
However, I am a science fiction fan, but I also like weird stories ala The Twilight Zone. Also on my list are historical novels and mysteries. I read psychological thrillers and mysteries as well (now here's a shocker :D). The one thing I will never even touch are Romance Novels, I find them utterly revolting, as well as blood and gore stories. I do like a well written gothic novel/story, but it has to be far above the regular trash that passes as gothic.

Sounds a lot like me. I'll read anything - with the exception of Romance novels. And most westerns. Romance novels are insulting, westerns are usually character deficient (although there are a few good ones out there).
I love SF, although I tend to lean more towards Fantasy actually. Lately I've been re-reading my Norman Spinrad books.
I too will read anything. Drives my partner nuts. The last time we went on a trip in the car I finished the book I was reading, and the extra book I brought in case I finished the book I was reading. Then I started reading the manual for the car (which I had read before) then collected a stack of pamphlets from a rest area and read them. Then I started the 1st book again. He thinks I'm insane, or pathetic, can't quite figure which . ::)

Liss:
I don't read romance novels either. Ick. Though I must admit my mom had me reading Danielle Steele and Judith Krantz in my teens. BLECH!
Actually, most of what I read is non-fiction. I do enjoy historical fiction, but prefer the actual history. I'm currently reading The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. Before that I read The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels.
Danni:
I'm a suicidal teenage mother who dropped out of college. I was studing IT... now when my daughter goes to school (if I live that long) I want to be a radiographer. I tend to make self sims, then make them commit suicide in various ways. I might start one of the challenges though.
I read everything, except romance and westerns. Sci-fi (especially Star Trek) is my favourite, but non-fiction is pretty high. I've just been reading the Argos catalogue since I was bored.
Kitiara:
Danni - I hope your post was made in jest, although I personally do not find it funny at all. All I can say to you is that I hope you find your vicarious virtual suicides therapeutic, and no longer to desire a real-life one. It's not too late to be a radiographer, if that is what you want. Be there for your daughter, but most importantly, be there for you.

Agreed Kitiara.
A lot of people have faced severe crises in their lives, and knowing that my children and I deserve better has always spurned me on. I was 36 years old when I found myself newly single with two children, then 10 and 6 years old. It took me 20 years of my life to realize that I was married, but my then-husband was not. I had no choice but go back home, which involved a move across the ocean. I tackled it, went back to school and now I'm back in the U.S. for a few more years to finish up.
Was it hard and emotionally wrenching? Oh yes. Did I cry, despair at times, argue with fate? You bet. But I knew I deserved better and so did my beautiful children, so I made it happen. I am now 46 years old. It did not happen overnight, or always smoothly, but it happened never-the-less.
