There isn't a single fantasy or sci-fi genre in there.
I think that this is a sufficient proof that there is no God,or, at least, no benevolent God.
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
I agree! At least one of the crime genres should be replaced by a fantasy genre!

Don't fearI found a site that has multiple types of sub genres within the thriller category. I'm kicking myself a bit for nominating it since I would have liked to read something fatasy or sci fi too. We'll just have to find a way to fit it in somewhere else
Sure we could get a few fantasy into war novels.
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy could fall under comic.
And there are tons of fantasy in young adult.

There has been more votes but the top 12 hasn't changed so comic is still in the cut. I imagine there can't be many more people left to vote so this is probably pretty much how it's going to end up.

I managed to not vote for the genre I nominated, because I was too quick to tab despite the "you may vote for more than one" option; just as well, perhaps, because I am not sure how many selections I can commit to.
And I don't really like the top picks. Where are the elitists in these 53k?

Can you name one Novel of Manners, please?
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.
If you need me urgent, send me a PM
anything by Austen i think....
