TTC Writing I

            I never really had a favorite literary genre. Whenever it comes to books, I pretty much read anything. I have like times where I’m really into horrors at one point, but then a week later, I’m into science fiction. I guess what I really focus on when I read a book is how entertaining I find the plot to be. There are plenty of times where I just got bored with the story and never actually finished the book. There are also times where it is a series and I like the beginning so I get the next books. However, I get bored with the plot and just end up with a bunch of unread books lying around and I move on to something else. 

However, if I had to choose a specific genre that I like the most; I would say it would be adventure. Really this is actually a broad genre and I feel that it could probably be spread out to like science fiction, horror, fantasy, and mystery. The reason I like adventure the most is mainly because the plot has a pretty good flow. The imagery that adventure literature provides is just amazing to me. Books like The Lord of the Rings trilogy show a vast land with different beings and magic, while books like Star Wars novels provide me with futuristic ideas.

Since I use to read a lot of books when I was younger, I should know a lot about different genres. However, the only reading I’ve done in the past few years is for school mostly and sadly my interest in actual fine literature has greatly fallen. However, I do remember reading a lot of mysteries. The Boxcar Children was probably my favorite mystery series that I read as a child. Although they seem very predictable and childish now, I remember the suspense and surprise that it provided as a child. There was also romance genre. Back then I never liked it and even now I don’t really care much for it. I wasn’t much for the love and happiness provided by romance. I also mentioned science fiction as being branched off of adventure. The most recent science fiction I have read is probably The Hunger Games. Really this genre of science fiction just opens my eyes to the future and how things can possibly be like.
