Are you one of those people who only reads one book at a time or do you have a bunch on the go at once?
I think of myself as a polyreader (and I blame it on my ADHD). I have 14 on the go at the moment, although one of those is a reread. If you do read more than one book at a time - do you ever have problems picking up from where you left off?

When it comes to genres I read I'd consider myself somewhat of an omnivore. I think there is barely any genre I don't read or haven't read. Obviously I have preferences as everyone does, I read a lot of fantasy, a bit less of science fiction, and nonfiction makes up around 1/4 of my annual reading. Still, I love a good thriller, some are very close to my heart, and a cozy crime or romance book can be a great read in between heavier things! I've been fascinated by historical fiction like Ken Follet's, and sometimes I dabble in literary fiction or horror (although I draw my line there sometimes). Comics are a beautiful art medium and if you give me a Manga I'd probably try it out even though I haven't read one in 10 years, and I think middle grade / YA books can still be a great read for adults!
So, I'm curious to hear how it is for other people, cause my friends are sometimes a bit shocked when I tell them abt all the different stuff I read ^^ I still think there are probably a lot of people that read as diversely as I do, if not even more!
