Pop Quiz, Hot Shot
In an effort to make "The Man in Black" more interactive, and in an effort to cut down on 1,000 word posts because all they do is pilfer 1,000 words from THE REGULATOR (a.k.a. Henry Parker #2), herewith is another online poll.
I'm curious to know what genres (fiction and/or non-fiction) lit blog readers tend to gravitate towards. If you could be so kind, list what genres you read the most, in order from most read to least read. I am paying attention to these results, and hope to draw some sort of conclusion from the various polls. It could be an incredibly misguided conclusion, but we'll have fun jumping to it.
For example, my reading list would read something like this (this is different from what I edit):
1) Crime fiction (mysteries and thrillers)
2) Literary fiction
3) Narrative non-fiction
4) Humor/pop culture
5) Graphic novels
6) Memoirs/Biographies
7) Sci-Fi/Fantasy
916,836) Erotica
916,837) Westerns
916,838) Erotic Westerns
P.S. LET'S GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
