I love to explore new worlds with my mind, which is why I prefer fantasy over all genres of literature. I detest the Twilight series, and I'm not a fan of the airbrushed cover romance novels. My favorite genres are: (but I'm mostly open to anything)
High/epic/historical fantasy (no science fiction), anything Victorian/Steampunk/medieval based, alternate history, historical romance and fiction, anything about kings/queens/Tudors, anything involving a lot of mythical creatures, fables/fairytales/folklore/mythology, Victorian mysteries, British detective stories, Gothic horror, sea adventures/swashbuckling/nautical & nautical fantasy, parodies of classics, classics, poetry, History (non-fiction) and a genre called "fantasy of manners" Oh, and P.G. Wodehouse type comedy. :D
I love anything steampunk/Victorian, chess, TED talks, my kitten Peaches & Herb, National Geographic magazine, robotics, cream of broccoli soup, blooming jasmine tea, poetry, Blackadder, opera, ballet, and musical theatre, secondhand bookstores, trains, calligraphy, Gilbert & Sullivan, Stephen Fry, Mr. Bean, art history, playing my cello and reading the Sunday paper.
Sorry if this seems long winded. A pleasure to be in this new society of book lovers.
