My Favorite Genre
I just started reading a book a couple of days ago entitled "Norwegian by Night" written by Derek B. Miller. I had no idea what the book was about. The only reason I downloaded it onto my Kindle is that it was recommended by someone whose judgement I really, really respect. It didn't take me but a paragraph or two to become totally hooked on the book.
The big surprise was that it is a genre I don't normally go for. It's a thriller, or suspense/thriller. I don't eve know if the latter is a genre. Maybe I've overdosed on all the shoot-em up, police/detective, robbery and murder TV programs I need to scroll through in order to get to anything decent--maybe I should say "decent" in my humble opinion.
Which brings me to ask myself, what is my own favorite genre? I do enjoy a good biography or memoir, especially the historical sub-genre of the same. I do like a good psychological drama or relationship story. Now, all of a sudden, this really well-written thriller comes into my life. I've just expanded my list of books I can pick from.
