Here are some examples of different book genres: fiction, nonfiction, biography, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, poetry
My Example: I enjoy reading a variety of books, but I'd have to say that I prefer reading biographies. The way other people have shaped history intrigues me and inspires me. For example, I read a book about a man who had been a slave all of his life. He didn't like being a slave and decided to do something about it. He, with the help of a friend, actually boxed himself up and mailed himself to Philadelphia where he could be free. I find great pleasure in reading stories where other people have been hopeful and have worked to achieve their goals. The genre I like the least would have to be science fiction. It is difficult for me to "get lost" in those books and want to continue turning the pages to read on.
